Anger is a kind of madness. They didn't have the studies to back it up, but they knew. Anger makes you dumber. It makes you a worse leader and a worse decision maker.

This is why Seneca wrote on Anger for Nero. He didn't think the emperor could afford to be ruled by his passions.

I tell you that anger is a kind of madness, he wrote. And he was right. A recent research study conducted and published by the psychologist Michael Greenstein proves it.

According to the study, angry people were not only more susceptible to misinformation. They were more likely to use that misinformation to guide their decision-making and actions.

Information and confidence traditionally correlated followed the opposite trajectory and angry people.

As angry people got more false information, they became more confident. Angry people unknowingly confused their heightened state of emotion for heightened cognitive capabilities.

They think their mind is alert, aware firing on all cylinders. People after a few cocktails do too, but Greenstein implies that those inhibited by anger are actually more at risk than those inhibited by alcohol.

Alcohol impairs the memory. Anger gives you false memories, false beliefs. A constellation of risks, that's how this new research refers to the implications of anger.

But the Stoics have known this for 2,000 years and you know it too. So ignore it at your peril.

And like I've said, we don't all have anger problems, but anger is a problem for all of us. It's a constellation of risk, it's a kind of madness, as Seneca said. And that's why we built the team, your temper challenge.

It's ten or so days of awesome Stoic inspired insights that will help you be less angry, have less rage, be more in control of yourself, carry less resentment, bitterness, all things that I think prevent you from being not just good at what you do as the study proves, but also prevent you from being happy.
