355 - On Anger: Interview with Donald Robertson
Description
Anger is a powerful force in the world, but the effects of anger often cause greater harm than the cause of it. Many see anger as a necessary emotion for human survival, but the Stoics warned us against anger, calling it a "temporary madness".
In my personal life, anger has been a recurring theme since childhood. I've worked hard to overcome the trauma from childhood, as well as my own anger, having been caught up in that temporary madness more times than I'd like to admit.
But is anger necessary? Is anger an emotion or a reaction to something deeper?
As we see more and more outrage online and in person, I wanted to talk with Donald Robertson about anger and see if we could open my perspective on anger, and see if I could get a better understanding of the root of anger, and how we might be able to make the world a little less angry.
