#052 - Going Apeshit: The Philosophy of Anger (Greg Sadler, PhD) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker

Greg Sadler is a philosopher, academic entrepreneur, founder of ReasonIO and editor of Stoicism Today.

In today’s episode we explore the various causes and manifestations of anger, the difference between chronic and acute anger, and the relationship between anger and vengeance.

We discuss why some people’s anger becomes directed inwards, towards the self, while other people’s anger is directed towards other people and the outside world, why anger can sometimes be a productive or even an enjoyable experience, and we close up by turning to stoic philosophy for some tips and advice on how to avoid hitting the roof when you’re absolutely fucking steaming.
