The Aspiring Self

We tend to think of anger as a negative experience. Images of hulk-like, aggressive outbursts dominate our thinking about anger. We may even go so far as to moralize anger - we tell ourselves and others that it is wrong. In this conversation with Alistair Moes, Durwin Foster and Alejandra Proaño from Healing Anger and Anger Moose Management, we peel back the misconceptions around anger. Together we explore the wisdom that hides beneath the angry veneer. Can anger be a wise teacher? What can it tell us about where we have been and where we are going? As we show up to the experience of anger with openness, we realize that it is not a harmful foe, but rather a benevolent friend; anger can reveal a world of possibility for self and other compassion.
