- Anger focuses attention on rewards, increases persistence, makes us feel in control and more optimistic about achieving our goals.
- Being an angry jerk relieves stress. Who is most likely to get angry? Strong men and hot women.
- What if you have to deal with an angry person? First off, tell yourself they are having a bad day and that it’s not about you. That’ll stop you from losing your cool. Past that there are anumber of good strategies for talking them down.
- So maybe you don’t want to be angry anymore. How do you pull that one off? Well, venting doesn’t work. Focus on the positive, check out some art or just eat something sugary.
