This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On Anger, book 2

It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 2 about his discussion of the three stages or movements involved in the emotion of anger. In the first stage, we grasp an appearance and are affected by it in some manner that can lead to anger. The second stage involves judgement, reason, will, and assent, and we have some control at this point. The third stage is the full emotion of anger, and is at that point outside of the control of the angry person

Purchase Seneca's On Anger - amzn.to/3smh6M8

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On Anger, book 2

It focuses specifically on his discussion in book 2 about his discussion of one very useful principle and practice people can use to be less angry, namely realizing that nobody is without fault. If we develop some self-awareness of our own faults, flaws, and failures, we are more able to not only take criticism from others, but to be understanding, patient, and forgiving with other people who exhibit the same or similar faults to our own
