The Emotional Brain: Part 2, Anger

Emotions are complex reactions that engage our bodies and minds and anger is one of our most commonly felt emotions. Each day, be it at home, work or school, we may find the deeds of others maddening. To respond to these often minor irritations with a 'blind fury' can be destructive, but more tempered feelings of annoyance may fuel productive change. Anger is the emotion that can motivate us to act against perceived injustices but it can also provoke fear and violence. We explore the 'good, the bad and the ugly' of our angry selves.
