Zachary Phillips is a mental health advocate, author and mindset coach. In these roles he has helped thousands of people move from a place of barely surviving to passionately thriving.

He is the author of seven books including: How To Get Your Sh!t Together and Mindfulness: A Guidebook To The Present Moment, and the creator of the Depresso Espresso web comic.

He is also an instructor on Skillshare and Insight Timer, teaching mindfulness meditation, personal development, and creative writing.

He is a qualified school teacher, personal trainer, martial arts coach, and disability support worker. Working in these industries has given him a depth of experience teaching across multiple topics, to learners of all ages and ability levels. It has also enabled him to condense, synthesize, and share the wealth of meditation and self-help knowledge gained form a lifetime of practice and deep study, both personal and under the guise of established masters.

Zachary's approach to teaching is to focus on what works for the individual. He recognizes the importance of self-awareness, agency, and self-efficacy as vital components of learning; and his teaching style reflects this. Learners are encouraged to try everything, keep what works and discard the rest.
