Is This Worth Your Peace of Mind? A Stoic Guide to Anger

This masterclass explores Seneca's three warnings about anger—that it makes us a slave, accelerates rapidly, and is contagious. The host shares the pivotal question that helps interrupt anger: 'Is this worth sacrificing my peace of mind?' Practical Stoic tools are also discussed, including premeditatio malorum, journalling, the physiological sigh, sleep, exercise, compassion, and boundaries, all aimed at catching anger before it becomes identity. The core teaching is that Stoicism does not promise a life without anger, but a practice of noticing the first internal movement and choosing a tranquil response.
