Is anger a spontaneous emotion or a tool we choose to use? 

In this episode of unfoldlearning, we dive deep into the uncomfortable but liberating truth that anger is a fabricated emotion we use to achieve a goal. Based on a radical idea from the book, "The Courage to Be Disliked," we explore how you're not a victim of your anger, but rather the architect of it.

Your roommate left a mess. Someone cut you off in traffic. The familiar heat rises in your chest... but what if that isn't real? What if you're not reacting, but rather choosing to be angry to make someone submit to your will? We break down the philosophy of teleology, which argues that our actions are guided by purpose, not our past.

Learn how to recognize the "Anger Lie" and discover the true path to freedom. By understanding that anger is a means to an end, you can stop using it as a tool for manipulation and start living a life of serenity and power.

What you'll learn in this episode:
- The core philosophy behind "The Courage to Be Disliked" and its perspective on anger.
- How we use anger as a tool to intimidate and make others submit.
- Why we are not victims of our emotions but rather choose them.
- Practical strategies to manage anger by choosing different goals: prioritizing calm, conversation, compromise, and mutual respect.

Join me, Kaustav as we challenge the way you think about anger and empower you to become the master of your emotional world.

Welcome back to the Unfoldlearning Podcast! This week's check-in video is a bit different from our usual episodes. Today, I’m diving into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes frustrating world of "routines" – and how I’ve hilariously failed at sticking to them. But don’t worry, this isn’t another “how to create the perfect routine” spiel. Instead, I'm sharing my journey of constant failure and what I’ve finally figured out that actually works for me.

Ever felt like you’re the only one who can’t stick to a routine? Spoiler: You’re not alone! In this candid, no-edits, one-take video, I talk about:

1. The endless struggle to stick to a routine and why it’s so darn difficult.
2. My personal fails with time tables, the 80-20 rule, and countless templates.
3. Realizing that copying others’ routines doesn’t work for me.
4. How I stopped stressing over rigid schedules and embraced a more flexible framework.
5. My new approach: focusing on three themes – THINK, FEEL, DO – to make my days more fulfilling.

Join me as I laugh at my own routine disasters and share how I finally found a way to structure my day that feels right. Whether you’re a fellow routine-failure or just looking for a fresh perspective, this video is for you.
