How to Understand and Master Your Anger with Science and Self-Awareness | Dr. Mort Orman

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, Dr. Mort Orman — a leading expert in anger and stress management — reveals why the emotion we call anger is never really about what we think it's about, and how understanding the hidden filters through which we perceive reality can fundamentally change how we feel and respond. Dr. Orman draws on decades of personal and professional experience to walk through his four-step process for identifying and managing anger, explaining why most people look for the source of their emotions in the wrong places. He makes the compelling case that our perceptions are shaped by invisible filters — and that questioning those filters, rather than reacting to what they show us, is the key to genuine emotional freedom and lasting inner peace. Key Topics Why anger originates internally — not from people or events outside usThe invisible filters that shape how we perceive reality and trigger emotional responsesDr. Orman's four-step process for identifying and transforming angerHow personal development and self-awareness change the way we relate to our emotionsPractical tools for questioning your perceptions and taking back control of your emotional wellbeing About Dr. Mort OrmanDr. Mort Orman is a physician, author, and expert in stress and anger management with decades of experience helping people understand and transform their emotional lives.
