David shares wisdom from various thinkers, including Confucius and Seneca, offering timeless advice on handling anger. He suggests practical steps like deep breathing and finding your happy place as immediate strategies to defuse tension. More importantly, he encourages connecting with others to gain perspective and engaging in activities that allow anger to dissipate naturally. So, if you're tired of letting anger steer your life, this episode might just be the guide you need.
