See how the two weeks unfold.
What you'll experience
Week one is recognising it. Week two is doing something about it โ boundaries, energy, support and the strengths you already have.
Self-Compassion
The antidote to the negative self-talk and demotivation that arrive with exhaustion.
Energy-Saving Boundaries
How to set them and, harder, how to communicate them to colleagues and family.
Asking for Support
Getting past the stigma, and simple ways to reach out to someone you trust.
Training the Positive
Shifting focus to acknowledge what is working, which is hard precisely when depleted.
Your Existing Strengths
Recognising the resources already in your life rather than building new ones.
Where a lot of us are
Overwhelmed, drained, stretched thin?
The constant juggling of work, home and self-care can push anyone to the brink. Burnout does not only sap your energy โ left unaddressed it carries real risks to physical and mental health.
โ
Tired has become your baseline
Rest stops restoring anything, and you have quietly started treating exhaustion as normal.
โ
You can't say no
Every request gets a yes, and the energy comes out of whatever was left for you.
โ
The self-talk has turned
Depletion brings a harsher inner voice, and the harshness makes the depletion worse.
โ
Asking for help feels like failing
So you carry it alone, which is the single most reliable way to make burnout worse.
Prevention beats recovery
Burnout builds over weeks or months, not overnight โ which means there is a window where noticing it changes the outcome. This course is about using that window rather than finding it in hindsight.
What changes
Reclaim your energy and your enthusiasm.
Through practical strategies and daily habits you reduce stress, restore vitality, and arrive at something better than merely coping โ a balanced calm and a renewed appetite for the things you used to enjoy.
Awareness of the early signs
Know the symptoms well enough to catch them, which lays the groundwork for everything else.
Boundaries that hold
Establish and communicate energy-conserving limits with colleagues, friends and family.
A kinder inner voice
Self-compassion as a working tool against negative self-talk and the demotivation that follows it.
A sense of accomplishment
Train your brain to notice the positives and acknowledge successes across the different areas of your life.
Built on early intervention.
Sha-En founded Happiness Scientists after working with students and adults facing mental health challenges and seeing how much difference early strategies made. This course is that principle applied to burnout specifically.

- Exhaustion has become the normal setting rather than a warning
- Boundaries get set in your head and never said out loud
- The wins go unnoticed while the shortfalls get counted
- Support exists but asking for it feels like an admission
You see it coming.
- You recognise your own early signs and act while it still costs little
- You can name a boundary to someone else without apologising for it
- You notice what is working, deliberately and daily
- Reaching out is something you do early rather than at the end
Your guide
Learn with Sha-En Yeo.
Sha-En founded Happiness Scientists in Singapore on the belief that well-being is fundamental. After working with students and adults facing mental health challenges, she recognised the need for early intervention โ strategies that help people navigate difficulty before it becomes crisis.
That led her to a Master of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she learned that well-being is not only essential but can be deliberately cultivated. She is Singapore's first Happiness Scientist and a two-time TEDx speaker, and has trained more than 25,000 people, from educators to C-suite executives.

The mission
Sha-En is committed to empowering people to take charge of their well-being using positive psychology research and tools โ aiming to help them thrive rather than only cope.
Beyond the individual
That mission extends to the communities and leaders who shape the environments where people live, work and play โ which is where most burnout is actually manufactured.
Who it's for
For anyone who has been running hot for too long.
You're juggling too much
Work, home and self-care competing for the same finite hours, with self-care losing.
High performers and go-getters
The people most likely to burn out are the ones least likely to admit they might.
You struggle with boundaries
If saying no is the hard part, week two is built around exactly that skill.
Managers and team leads
Recognising it in yourself is the first step to recognising it across a team.
Carers and parents
Where the demands are constant, unpaid, and rarely acknowledged as work at all.
Complete beginners
No background in psychology needed. Everything is built from the ground up.
Inside the course
Two weeks, ten lessons, two hours.
Short by design, because burnout is not solved by adding another commitment: 10 short lessons with expert videos, daily tasks to apply each idea, two hours of on-demand learning and lifetime access to the videos and notes. A certificate of completion comes with it.

The curriculum
Two weeks. Understand it, then act on it.
Week one gives you the definition, the causes and the symptoms. Week two is the practical half โ support, energy, boundaries and strengths.
Week 1Understanding Burnout
The ins and outs of burnout โ what it is, and the factors that contribute to it. This week equips you to identify the signs and symptoms so you can manage and prevent it rather than discover it too late. The lessons cover the fundamentals and place particular emphasis on self-compassion, which turns out to matter more than most people expect.
Week 2How to Manage, Prevent and Overcome Burnout
When you are depleted, recognising the positive aspects of life gets genuinely hard. This week gives you quick, practical techniques for shifting focus and drawing on what is around you. It covers the significance of support, preserving your own energy, and setting boundaries โ while acknowledging the strengths already present in your life.

What is burnout, exactly?
A state of exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, which saps your energy and carries real risks to physical and mental health. Left unaddressed it can contribute to chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Week one covers the definition, the contributing factors and how to identify the signs in yourself.
I think I'm already burnt out โ is this still for me?
The course covers managing and overcoming burnout as well as preventing it, so the tools in week two apply either way. That said, if you are struggling badly right now, please also speak to a doctor or a qualified mental health professional. A short course is a good companion to that, not a replacement for it.
How much time will I need?
Two hours of on-demand learning in total, across ten short lessons over two weeks. Each comes with a daily task designed to fit into your existing routine โ which matters here more than usual, since the last thing burnout needs is another obligation.
Can I start anytime?
Yes. Start whenever you are ready and work at your own pace. Lifetime access means you can return to any lesson whenever the workload picks up again.
What will I gain?
Across the two weeks you will:
- Gain awareness of the early signs and symptoms of burnout
- Learn to establish and communicate energy-conserving boundaries at work and at home
- Embrace self-compassion to counter negative self-talk and demotivation
- Overcome the stigma of seeking help, and find easy ways to reach out to someone you trust
- Train your brain to notice the positives and acknowledge successes across your life
Is this only about work?
No. Burnout is usually described in workplace terms, but it comes from the total load โ work, home, caring responsibilities and the self-care that gets squeezed out between them. The boundaries covered in week two apply to colleagues, friends and family alike.
Do I need any prior knowledge?
None. No background in psychology is assumed and every concept is built from the ground up.
What qualifications does Sha-En Yeo have?
Sha-En holds a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She is Singapore's first Happiness Scientist, a two-time TEDx speaker and founder of Happiness Scientists, and has trained more than 25,000 people from educators to C-suite executives.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access to all ten lessons and the accompanying notes, so you can return whenever you need a refresher.
Is this a substitute for medical or psychological care?
No. This is educational well-being content covering everyday habits and prevention. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment for depression, anxiety or any other condition. If you are struggling, please speak to a doctor or a qualified mental health professional.
