Had the honor of meeting Zach at our schools library last year and have to say he lives up to the hype of being an all around great person. Keep up the great work.

Zach I am amazed how you manage all this with med school

this channel has been such a blessing in my life. thank you so much for everything you do and are!

I've recently started journaling and I can confidently say that it's a great addition to life. There's something about outputting your feelings and plans that makes you feel free and ready to go.

Great video! One of my favorites so far. I've been hearing about stoicism but watching you apply it really made it click for me. 👏😊👍

Amazing video, I started my stoic journey around half a year ago, it takes a lifetime to master the stoic philosophy, but we should continue to make strides towards this ultimate goal. Keep it up king 👑

Amazing video and experience, Zach! Thanks for showing us the highs and lows of it! Cheers from Brazil!

Zach, congratulations on matching! You are a true inspiration!

I recently started reading about stoicism last month and it's made such a big impact. Currently have Meditations by Marcus Aurelius on my bedside table and have some of Ryan Holiday's books which I highly recommend.

Awesome video as always Zach Take care and the best wishes for you and your love ones

When it comes to meditation, I would definitely slowly go into it rather overwhelming yourself with 2 hrs. I’m glad that you’re enjoying your journey.

Zach is the friend we all need :)

The obstacle is the way.... Amazing! ❤❤❤

I always enjoy watching this kind of videos, probably should try some of it myself finally lol

Zach! I've been watching you and your journey for a while now. I first found you through your amazing Anki tutorial videos. And I just wanted to say that I love seeing the transition and development of you as a person, medical professional, and KZfaqr. I also love seeing the direction that this channel is going. You're not boxed into just "medicine". I think this channel is a reflection of the whole idea that you are more than just a "medical student/resident". At this point, I'm so curious to see what other topics you are going to make videos on. I feel like at this point, you can just do whatever you find the most appealing and invigorating. Cheers mate!

Great video, thank you

Yesterday I checkout stoicism on yt and today u uploaded a video Wt a perfect timing⚡

Another interesting video 😍

You're awesome 🫡

I can't even take the cold from the supermarket. I heard a woman and her husband from Luxembourg moved to Singapore because they did not want to take the cold anymore.

hi Zach, is it okay to drink on weekends if I run five days a week or should I not? do you drink ?

Big fan, do you mind giving me tips as a 15 year old trying to get into medicine? Thank you so much, keep it up :)

Wow you have a commercial sink sprayer. Do you use it?

I have regularly practiced many stoic principles for some time tho to expect, ‘prepare’, for the worst is terrible advice. We experience what we look for.. if we expect only the worst -in people, situations, etc-we’re sure to find it.

11:10 The Stoic Dr. Zach was actively casting protection spells

man is it hard to to apply stoicism when you got anger issues and become easily emotional(Even when you dont want to!!!)... Maybe i should take some medications

In my opinion life is difficult enough. Peaple don't need special challenge. Life is challeng,life with every obsticle and problems that peaple have. Accept your past.

Where do these new ideas for preparing KZfaq video com from?

I just started it tbh , what a coincidence!

tldr: i managed to step over a log on my walk

He is officially my new crush now 😊

can you make a video about how to meditate?

Quit caffeine for 30 days and then leave 3 days in between when you drink it. This way, the tolerance will never build up and the ritual itself will be more pleasing.

❤❤❤

Giving up caffeine is a great challenge to try but you gotta go longer than just a week because your body will still be experiencing the withdrawals at that point. Great video!

The cold showers are so hard to do. I feel amazing afterwards though

Imagining your family dying is fine, but you can think of a better example. It's about facing your worse fears. You're a medical student/Doctor, so you should imagine failing an important exam or making a mistake, which kills a patient. You then prepare for those situations by studying/working on your weaknessee etc

Bros making more off this than when he gets a job at a hospital

My fave part is being like “something bad could happen” but then nothing bad happens. I haven’t skipped out on coffee yet and I still already like it.

I love you all

Now I'm going to take a national exam. So what do you advice me to score higher than other students who take this exam?not only higher just than 650.PLEASE😊

This guy has obviously had something traumatic happen in his life. Like the lost of a loved one or something, NOT!!

Feels like the inevitable was skipped - yes junior devs will still exist and their role will evolve… but there will be far less of them. If a 2 person ‘team’ can with the help of AI do the work done by 3 people now then someone has just lost their job or never had a post to lose in the first place.

Interesting 💭

I really like the content, but I'd like to give some constructive criticism on the color grading. It's way to turned up to orange and teal, to the point that I honestly think it's annoying. Sorry :/

You seem a little stressed though. 😊 Love your vids anyway.

สวัสดีค่ะ and no sugar is easier than no complaining, I find.

As a Muslim, I am surprised to find that there are similarities between the teaching and practices in Islam and stoicism! For instance, we fast so we can control our impulses and be more aware of our blessings such as food and water in addition to the health benefits that come with fasting. What many people dont know though is that while fasting, we dont just refrain from eating and drinking, but we also try to “fast” from harmful language, behavior, and mindsets! Not complaining and reminding yourself/preparing yourself for the worst is also another thing we do since as you mentioned if you and your family end up living the next day despite preparing for the idea of death, it makes you extremely grateful and hopeful. The biggest difference though is that we are grateful to Allah (God) for choosing to have these things happen and grateful to Him answering our prayers and granting such things and more. What’s even more relieving is that even if things do end up taking a different course or even an undesirable course, we trust that He chose it for us for a REASON and that He knows what’s best because He is the creator and the All-Knowing. Waking up early is also another thing we are advised to do as we have prayers that are timed and divided throughout the day and the first prayer called “Fajir” is basically at around 3 to 5 AM depending on your region. Even our prayers can be considered as meditations as we are advised to focus solely on our sayings and movements for around 5 to 7 min five times a day. I wanted to share this as I found it super interesting to see the possible similarities! :)

i agree with most things but the part where we have to die.Stoics didnt know about Jesus .if you give your life to him you will live forever

First!

Zach do a favor for ur self and crush the disorientation of ur living and go to right path the only peaceful way, just give it a try and truly from ur heart look for it, Islam religion , I hope you best and may allah guide you ❤️☝🏼

Following Islam will give you happiness and reall meaning of life Zach...... When you people have all facilities and every way of happiness then why suicide ratio is increasing day by day in your country......?

I learned about justice in kindergarten so I am like already pretty good at stoicism.

If this is a religion I would probably join. Who is the God or Goddess of it?

Really, really, thank you. Today's video is very nice and worth watching love you❤💙💜🤍💚
