Episode #26: Why You So Mad Bro?

from Intellectual Freedom Podcast · host David D. Hopkins, PhD

A Buddhist proverb says, "the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves." If this is true, we have a whole lot of people focused on themselves and not seeking truth or understanding.  A recent poll found 84% of Americans are angrier today compared with a generation ago.In the polarized and tribalistic world we live in, our society has an anger management issue.  The 2020 elections are only fueling the fire of anger.  Anger causes negative health outcomes, breaks down civil discourse and prevents us from coming together as a culture and society.  It is dangerous, and in America, we are playing with fire by not addressing the issue of anger. In this podcast, we discuss four pillars of anger raging across America today.  Once we identify sources of anger, there is actually one clear, simple solution that can defuse most of the anger bomb inside of you.  We will turn to ancient wisdom, applied in a practical manner so you can turn the corner on the anger that you are experiencing in life today.Send us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
