Stoic thought helped me develop into the decent person I am now. I started flipping pages about the philosophy about three years ago.

I bought “Meditations a new translation with an introduction by Gregory Hays” I’m still in the introduction of the book (it’s a bit long) but Ryan Holiday exposed me to this ancient philosophy and it felt like a total shift in my relationship to the world. I have become obsessed and I’ve seen improvements in my mental clarity, relationships, and work. But most importantly I have a better relationship with myself. Thank you for this video, I was irritated today and this helped remind me of what’s important. Thank you 🙏

Have listened to a lot of things on anger and stoicism, and I like how this one addresses the argument that some anger is good via righteousness. That is a defense I have heard used in the past, so it's nice to hear it discussed and the counterpoints delivered

Beautifully presented, in my experience the anger or rage comes from a previous experience that is triggered by a current incident or situation. Pause, focus on breathing and listen. Incidents from my childhood resulted in me experiencing episodes of rage which I did not act on. One day I was curious as to where the rage was directed eventually I came to the realization that it was directed at me for allowing myself to be a victim. It is still there within me but I now recognize it for what it is and dismiss it.

As fascinating as I find Stoicism and how it specifically relates to this topic, the more I read and watch about it, the more clearly I see the absence of diversity. We need much, much more nuanced discussion of what what it means to live with and react to anger and power.

I am fortunate to have come across this video due to references elsewhere to a book of Seneca's and some very sensible Stoic principle. Heretofore unknown Donald Robertson gives me a clear understanding of what anger is and what it does in my own experience. This video is very valuable to me as a doable and plausible bunch of ideas for dealing with anger. This is the second time I have watched it: a rarity for me. Very helpful. His Scottish (?) accent is a bit hard to get at times. Small price to pay for the helpful content. Peace.

Anger can also be performative and used instrumentally for some gain. Self-righteous - or ego-defensive anger, especially between males is a serious problem....especially when males are in tribal connections. Group and gang violence....

Yes, it was good but there was one thing that has (always) made me angry.. He said:"When we descend into anger and .., we become like Animals". I think, globally it's time to have a conversation about stopping using the term 'Animals' to describe humanity's worst traits'. Non-human animals are innocent and undeserving of this characterisation. It encourages people to hate them, hence cruelty and exploitation on a monumental scale.

You read to much of racism. Time to focus to other -ism, like Stoicism.
