Who am I:
My name is Zach. I’m a fourth-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post it either on UA-cam or on my website 🌐 (zhighley.com/).
I write a weekly newsletter 💌 (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 4,000+ that read it every Sunday morning.

High quality content. No waffling like a lot of other self improvement channels on youtube but practical advice plus you talk about your own struggles which I appreciate a lot.
Thank you so much for your work Zach, we're all just anonymous accounts and just numbers here but behind that we're sometimes just guys that have more in common than one would expect.
Appreciate that, screenshooting and adding this comment to my album or photos that I keep to look at when I feel iffy about making these videos
And girls, trust me.
Much love, all!
Continue healing and find your own truth.
Zack is so inspirational for a teenager like me, from learning to run to vivid dream, so grateful to know a creator like you. 🙏 In another comment also invited you for a podcast episode, really look forward to hear back from you on it 🙌
I LOVE YOU ZACH ❤ Thank you so much for creating such a high quality content. This video is what I needed to watch, it is so impactiful.
Yesterday I discovered this UA-cam channel, and I have to say I'm loving it. The content is just wonderful. Thank you very much for creating it Zach.
Very inspirational and intelligent video. Thank you!!
Great video, definitely a watch again and is saved to be shared
I am loving these life improvement videos. Especially ones related to reading. Please keep ‘em coming !!
Reading, good idea, on it!
This is one of your BEST videos ever. Knocked it out of the park ❤
Happy to see your video zach!!
Thanks for the nice words!
*As a teen boy I find incredible value in Zach’s content as he has helped so so much to channel my drive and become SUCH a better and more entrepreneurial person. Especially as a youtuber myself action is 🔑*
Mr. Zach , I hope you post more content like this or education in the future.. You are a fantastic character. Your videos actually taught me a lot recently..I am a school student from India. I will remain grateful to you. Thanks Sir.
you know Zach? You have completely changed my life with your contents. Whenever I feel lost and confused I re-watch and re-re-rewatch some of you videos. I have watched your "Why you procrastinate" video almost 50 times so far.. Even I strategize most of my tasks (specially exam preparations) with "what,when and how" blocks as you mentioned in that video and it was life changing. I can't thank you enough for your contents. Your channel has certainly become my life coach.
Another fantastic video, Zach! Thanks for sharing with us!
Cheers from Brazil!
Glad you enjoyed it!
More self improvement videos thanks a lot for these and recently I've been more into philosophy, stoicism and books related to such stuff your video as always is so well made and executed
Glad you like them!
Great video
Love you and your videos❤
You've scheduled more activities in one week than I've had my entire life 😂
Awesome video man, thanks for the advices man.
Take care
Take care, thanks for watching!
Good work mate , really looking forward to implement these principles
Thanks for watchingg
We appreciate these videos. They're truly insightful.
Glad you like them!
@@ZachHighley add "Dr." Infront of your channel name.. It will make you feel better about yourself. ❤❤
@@Janidubathisa He isn't a doctor yet, right?
Respect for your work, really good quality video
Thanks!
Good one ❤
So inspiring! Focus on things you can control...🤩💯🥰

I like this video. Especially I like the idea of not assuming you're tired and getting things done without procrastinating😄
I love how you make your videos! top ;)
nice color-grading :)
You're not only a medical student but my life mentor.... Bow to you sir 😊❤
Highest quality self improvement videos out there
To Zach's disappointment, I was huddling under the blankets and staying warm while watching this video...
I may or may not be under blankets right now
@@ZachHighley in a very stoic manner I'm sure 😶 😆
y can follow the love fate quote lmao
Same but I remember how angry I were a couple of days ago when I accidentally destroyed my heat pillow (I’ve a sustained a hamstring injury and the X-ray showed how muscle had burst off, anyway after I burned my heat pillow I got worse again and I was positively reminded how fantastic help I got from it, so I got help and purchased a very necessary electric heat blanket which makes my more or less as of right now bedridden life feel more productive because I’ve surrendered to “what is” and adjusted my life to “help my body to heal in the best way I can because the injury have happened and instead of feeling too overwhelmed with it, I do the best I can and sometimes (without dwelling) I cry when I need to, but I don’t hate myself for crying, when the pain make me throw up I’ve stopped resisting because it gets worse if I do, when I’ve been on the brink of fainting due to the pain I don’t feel as helpless anymore because I have no way to control everything, I need to go outdoors and every now and then I get the sensation in my body that indicates I’ll faint, but I tre to breath… and so on. Resistance makes it worse so I guess I work on letting go of having control over things I cannot control, and with this have come some kind of things I do appreciate - silence. I’ve autism (ASD 1, formerly known as Asperger’s) so it comes naturally to me to feel comfortable in silence and that have helped me to feel more confident and relaxed in not demanding of myself to be so explanatory and I feel no pressure to I talk extensively about my injury, which in this context means, “those I think needs to know, know and after I’d told them I’ve not brought it up because I don’t heal faster from repeating this I live through it and that’s very much enough. I hope this makes sense.
I commented because it stroke me how much of what I have done instinctively was pretty accurate to some of the points in this video.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Kindly Grace🎼🩰

High level of content!
High level comment!
It’s a med school final season for me and your videos are fresh air during this time.
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate this topic.😁
I appreciate you!
I was doing so well, with everything, getting up earlier, etc, last three weeks I've fallen back into all my old habits etc, trying to get Started again on it all again,
❤❤❤ I have seen motivation in your all videos. God bless you with more success
Thanks and same to you!
Is it right to listen to music during studies, please want advice
Wow..... superb I always like your video's because you explain each concept very clearly................ superb bro... ...
Thank you!
I want to make a UA-cam Channel for a long time, but my fear was stopping me, i think i’m gonna do it! I study with u. I eat great, wake up at 6, exercise and i love to read. I’m reading “El psicoanalista” on my 5 minutes Pomodoro Break. I really think that we are separate brothers and we’re wonna meet each other in the further future.
Te saluda un caraqueño en Concepción 💙🙏
Principle number 9 is something that is not just present in Stoic philosophy but was also mentioned in Buddha's last words. This video is one of my favorites so far 😃
Really insightful video. I would really like to hear your opinion about usage of social media in today's world.
I just love all of your vlogs♥️...
You are my ideal ...I wanna be just like you🥰
Thanks
Really a lot of good advice, the only question I have is, do you ever really relax?
Hi Zach, i hope you read this. I have been considering buying a sunlight alarm clock. I couldn't find a video that is imformative about it so could you please try it out? The main brand is Lumie (I believe) and I would love to see that. Thank you :)
So in planning out your week, where does med school fit in? Or studying?
I love your videos they’re so great I would love it if you would talk about your Christian faith.😆
Really happy because today is a new video from Zach
Well what is your advice to someone who is trying really hard to get into medical school What if I can't get it If you give me advice I would be very grateful to you
I love you
Keep going❤❤❤❤
Keep going, if it’s truly your dream it can be done it just may take more time and work
@@ZachHighley for some reason this simple advice really resonated with me today. i am currently struggling to keep my head above the water in med school and your videos have been helping me a lot lately. thank you for introducing me to stoicism. thank you for all your beatutiful work. Geetings from Poland
I’ve been reading daily stoic by Ryan Holiday each day for two year a short stoic reading at morning help me a lot!

I saw you in San Luca Bologna😁😁❤️❤️
Haha that was fast! Ciao
@@ZachHighley Ciao! Have fun in Bologna❤️

Since you study medical, can you advise in a video how to solve a protruding belly? A liquid diet? Low-starch diet? Is it due to overeating and enlarged intestines?
Eat healthy and work out.
Don’t try extreme diets (like those listed) they will most likely lack nutrients and diversity.
Try and get a healthy lifestyle.
hi there i just wanted a little advice that currently I'm at the borderline to the medical studies my exams are next month and then itll be the entry test so .... was just nervous as to whether it is the right path for me or not ... as you are a medical student urself is it possible to work super hard to push across this barrier of entry tests and secure admissions in some great medical colleges and just after a few years feel like..na it was not meant for me or something...
I can’t tell you how you feel. So in the end you need to choose for yourself if you want to try.
I am a med student, and am super happy with my choice. Yes there were moments where it was super hard but from my point of view it’s worth it.
I can’t say much about preparing entrance exams (I kinda got super lucky I passed with barely studying bc where I live they are not knowledge based) but all the big exams for uni itself. You study a lot. You get frustrated by studying. Maybe your grade won’t even be what you want. But then you take them again and pass these exams.
As for how it’s years later… again… idk you so idk what your motivation is or what could happen. But generally most ppl leave within the first 2 years (of a 6 year program), either because of exams or they don’t like it. So only this time could be “lost time”.
So if you compare it to a month or a bit more of studying for the exams…imagine what is the worst that could happen/the most you could use and what would be the best that could happen. Then weigh them against each other.
I would just go for it. Try it. Worst is you fail and worked hard for a few extra months.
😂 hope that helps a bit and made any sense
@@JustMe-12345 it does make sense and i appreciate your words.... alright then. ill surely make thru the exams inshaAllah ha-ha thanks i guess i just needed this reassurance that it'll be worth it. ☺
Cool
Thanks for watchin

Please do a video with name "How to build our medical studying routine". Or something like that.😅❤ POV: I love your videos the most of every one else.😄
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would respect.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own thoughts so that others can benefit from them as well.
All the best to you!
Do you still edit your videos yourself Zach?
Martino Gasparrini
he is the editor!!
@@ProStuX thank you man, how much does he charge 😅
"eliminate distractions", pov: your channel is my distraction
It's very easy for a Roman Emperor, or anyone with means, to decide to live simply. When you are forced to, it sort of sounds like the poor should just accept their suffering, and the forces against them
I like this video please,I would to learn philosophy and art in my life more than I love peace and clam for my life I love meditation practice please.
Bro, I haven't lived for 17.5 years, and you say look at my first 18 years😅
Can someone make key takeaways from this vid please
Can just check the website post link it’s all there in tldr
Hi Zack! Hope you’re well, I would love to host you as a guest for a quick 30 minute virtual session on my podcast where I interview up incoming celebrities, successful influencers, and normal day to day people on their visions, lessons and experiences. If you can send me an email that I can send you a personal message to and if you would be willing to make it happen, I really look forward hearing back from you.
With gratitude,
Alex Renko
1) self control
“Dose for one moment” - that’s always
“what distracts us” - everything
“I don’t want my thinking brain to be overruled, rational decision” - that’s the prefrontal cortex. They’d partnof what’s weird in my brain.
Welcome to adhd. Pretty much the opposite of the whole nr 1
Me thinking Zach is writing something profound in his journal. Zach writing "mayonnaise is an instrutment" over and over. haha nope he's just a fan of SpongeBob.
To be honest You should become a psychiatrist
lovely content by the way 👍👍👍
