  • Do you struggle to control your anger? Are you the victim of someone who loses their temper? When you feel angry, controlling that rage is very difficult--but it's possible. And Joseph Telushkin, a rabbi and best-selling author, shares one simple, doable rule that may just save the relationships of those who take it seriously.

    Script:
    Do you wish you had better control over your temper? Do the people around you, your spouse, your friends, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your children, wish you had better control over your temper?
    Unfair or excessive anger is a major cause of marital strife, of tensions between parents and children, and of tensions in work places. Sometimes anger is responsible for more than just tension. “Road rage,” for example, is implicated in hundreds of deaths and thousands of accidents each year.
    Of course, anger is not always wrong. Sometimes it’s absolutely necessary. There is evil in the world and sometimes in our own lives. If that didn’t make us angry, neither nations nor individuals would ever oppose it. Think about it for a moment: Would you want to live in a world where no one except victims felt anger toward terrorists, rapists and murderers?
    But that's not the sort of anger I am talking about now. I'm talking about day-to-day anger and the role an angry disposition plays in poisoning our daily lives and the lives of those around us. People with quick tempers sometimes say that they can't control their anger. But that’s not true. People can't always control how they feel, but they can almost always control how they act.
    Let me offer an example: Imagine you're walking down the street when suddenly you're confronted by a person with a weapon demanding your money. Clearly, you're furious. But do you shout at the person? Do you curse him? Very unlikely. You speak in as calm a voice as you can, probably even in a respectful manner -- if you speak at all! We all know why we would act in such a calm way -- in order to save our life. Obviously, then, we can control our tempers when we really want to.
    Now there are whole courses on “anger management” and they undoubtedly have many ideas and suggestions. But I would like to offer one rule that will enable you to control your anger and almost guarantee that you will never say something that will lead to an irrevocable break or a permanent hurt in your relationship with another person: No matter how angry you get, restrict the expression of your anger to the incident that provoked it.
    This means when someone has done something wrong and has hurt you, express anger for what they did - but only concerning that incident . Don't use words like “always,” or “never.” "You're always inconsiderate," "You never think before you act." What’s the other person supposed to say? “You're right. I am always inconsiderate.” In addition to making the other person defensive -- who wouldn't become defensive when accused of always being anything bad -- your statement is untrue. No one is always inconsiderate. No one never thinks before he or she acts.
    That someone has done something wrong to you doesn't give you the right to lie to or about them.

    My biggest regret in life was wasting my time expressing my disappointment or anger towards others. It's a waste of time and energy. I have learned that the best way to manage my anger is remove dependency on people and keep people away that simply have potential to infuriate you. Though I am at risk of becoming a hermit.

      Thamyris Vision I work from home and I am essentially my own boss. I pick and choose who I decide to do work for. Not everyone has that luxury but it does go to show how far I go to avoid being dependent on others. You're right though to bring up work. I suggest finding an employer who shares your values and is honest.

      poposisa Nay it isn't holding in your anger entirely, but rather releasing it in smaller portions. A teacher of mine who is also an anger management teacher for criminals and such gave me the same advice. (No I was not a criminal, she was my seminary teacher.)

    • @atsukana1704
      @atsukana1704 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      poposisa that would be going about it in the wrong way. Anger control isnt just about locking things away, with this mentality there is no control you can have unless you are predisposed to be not angry. Rather after not overreacting to the situation and taking a moment to calm down. Just let it go. Like a weird movie about the future once said "Keep moving forward"

      That never occurred to me when I watched it. It took me to read your post to even consider it. Is that because I'm racist? No. On the contrary, not only did I not consciously notice that figure was black, but my brain never considered it was an ethnically "black" man. In fact, in hindsight, my brain figured that the reason the figure was black was to portray the likely scenario of him dressing in black clothing and committing this crime in a dark area to not be noticed by witnesses. I honestly thought it was a white man in the shadow of a dark place. Therefore it is my opinion that it is the person that considers the colors chosen to mean the robber is black and that there must be racism involved is nothing more than projection of the accusers own racism. Sorry, just sayin.

      +stunningarrayof Anger stems from fear or hurt. You become angry because you fear for your life or your loved ones, in the case of the gun point. If he shot you and you lived, you'd probably feel angry from the pain of having a bullet in your body(physical hurt). Or if someone called you some choice words, you'd be angry that they hurt you(emotional hurt).

    Another positive aspect of this is that expressing anger encourages feelings of anger in the future. The truth is that by controlling how you respond to anger, you CAN control how you feel. Add to that the fact that saying something (like "You're always so patronizing!") can convince us that it's true or reinforce those thoughts. Once we're convinced that it's true, confirmation bias takes over. I admit--I can benefit from the advice in this video. Thank you, Prager University. I'll try to apply this to my life.

    Anger is a human emotion, but what you do with it matters! It is ok to get angry, but place your anger within the context - Do not project on others and the environment around you because you are not resolving your anger. Anger is a human emotion that needs attention when it occurs, and needs resolution - hopefully as soon as is possible. Thank you for sharing this video on anger.

I now se that controlling my anger is me saving my life. It is the exact opposite of what my anger feels like. I use to feel like anger was my kryptonite. I feel like I'm dying inside when I rage therefore this videos is just confirming that I'm on the right path.

    I wish I had seen this video before. I had the most beautiful and doting girlfriend ever. We were together for five years.
    One day in the restaurant I got angry because she was incorrect about an actor who played a part in the movie and kept insisting it was right. I don't know what happened to me and I slapped her right in front of everyone. She was humiliated and I was shocked and disoriented at my actions. We quickly left the restaurant and then she broke up with me. I tried to win her back but she never forgot or forgave. This happened in 2006 and I am still heart broken and depressed. My work life got effected severely due to my depression and I got kicked out in 2011. My entire life fell apart with that one anger out burst and that too at something as trivial as hollywood shit. If only there were a time machine and saw this video before that fateful day.

    SELF CONTROL AND SELF CONTROL AND SELF CONTROL. This is the key! I noticed how the tone of your voice changes everything, be calm and natural no need to fake it. My mom thinks she has self control but she doesn't if you watch her you can see her doing sudden moves, lip biting, which makes the person who watches her even more angry.

    Red-faced anger is never a good idea, even if we limit it to the situation at hand. There are kind ways to express anger to let someone know they should make up for a wrong, and/or change. Those skills need learned by everyone. Skills + The Golden Rule are what help people win against a bad habit of rude anger expression.

      @hwilliampolenz6713 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Patrick Ellis I actually found his advice helpful. I've noticed arguments tend to devolve into madness rather quickly because all kinds of irrelevant things are brought forward for no rational reason.
      I mean sure, his point isn't exactly rocket science, but it's still true. He's more or less stating that it's important to stick to the thing that upset you when you're upset about something. It's counterproductive to pull up things that the other person can do nothing about (like tell them they "never listen") or things that just aren't relevant to the argument.

    • @kapitankapital6580
      @kapitankapital6580 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you people haven't really been angry much in your life. If is an incredibly difficult emotion to suppress, and if you let yourself feel angry you will act in a way that you normally wouldn't.
      Most arguments do tend to be about small things, However they are almost always the culmination of a string of events that a person has done to upset you, or that have made you angry, so if you limit your anger to that small event, then you have defeated the purpose of getting angry and having the argument,which is to release all your bottled up anxiety and frustration by aggressive actions.

    • @Gillsing
      @Gillsing 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Patrick Ellis
      Wouldn't it be better to _not_ let things accumulate until you lose patience and become angry? That way it should be easier to express your grievances in a calm and rational manner. Though I can see how it might take some anger to be willing to bother with all those little things that were too insignificant on their own.

    • @kapitankapital6580
      @kapitankapital6580 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      For things out of your control I would recommend rage fantasies. Indulge to your heart's content. Let your anger roam in the safety of your own mind. Just don't do it near any dogs or other animals that can smell what's going on in your head.

    Very good advice, I too have had to learn to control my temper. One method I use is to delay large impactful choices until I've had time to think it over for a while. If it turns out that what I initially thought was a good idea turns out to be an idea concocted during a fit of anger and subsequently irrational, I then have missed an opportunity to make a bad choice.

    Oh my gosh - this is what we teach to kids in elementary school - over and over and over - and guess what ----in this country - people are still VERY angry about all kinds of issues...we are polarized, etc. It's like he's talking to an infant. One positive is his explanation of "all or nothing" thinking - this is really common and Dr. Ken Burns does a great job of explaining this phenomenon in cognitive behavioral therapy books. All or nothing and black and white thinking are a huge cause of anger. So is thinking" things in life SHOULD be this way or that way" - all the should eventually wear you down - as you try harder and harder over the years to be perfect - you eventually crash as no one is perfect. Very common and part of mid life issues for men and women - you do everything "right" - and the world still slams you - which is how life is. You are functioning on thinking that doing what is right will bring you some big reward...the earthly reward is rarely enough....so lots of anger to work through. If you have a strong faith - whatever type - this can help you with anger as the world and people will generally disappoint you - especially if you have high expectations or have been raised on promises of "the good life" for the good - which most American kids hear all the time...and then, guess what - it's not true. Bad things happen to good people, etc. - this is part of growing up - some have to do it at a very young age. Think of the rage of countries and people within them who feel they are not getting their share of the pie in the world - or people in America who worked so hard and then saw it all go up in smoke in a recession combined with one illness- and no matter how hard they work, they can't recover, find a job, whatever. Anger is a very complex subject. Choosing how to react generally works for me - but the minute I hit menopause - it all flew out the window! ha! I felt I was going nuts...so it would be interesting to explore the neuro/biological impact of aging, etc. on anger, depression, rage,etc. in one of these videos. All said, I've seen worse videos on this site - and as usual - it's oversimplified and dumbed down as if talking to a 2 year old. But, generally, there are some decent points here. Full disclosure - father a psychiatrist; me a counselor. Many years in these professions - life is not so simple. Regarding the black figure - I saw it as a person with a hood or mask over his face and body - but I can see why people would see it as a racist implication and be angry about that!

    What he said is absolute true, and I guess we all realize it. However what makes it difficult is that we want the oponent knows we are angry and dissapointed. (Probablly I would need to change the noun "we" to "me"?) From my crazy experiences, showing your expression with utter anger and hatred does not work at all. It only make things worse. It is very important to express your expression with refined words. I hope I can practice things as just I wrote.
