Anger can feel like strength, clarity or self-respect. But once it gathers momentum, it narrows your choices and makes you pay for the first reaction twice.

In this full live masterclass, I explore Seneca's three warnings about anger: it makes us a slave, accelerates quickly and spreads between people. I share the question that has helped me interrupt it: "Is this worth sacrificing my peace of mind over?" We also work through practical Stoic tools including premeditatio malorum, journalling, the physiological sigh, sleep and exercise, compassion, boundaries, and learning to catch anger before it becomes an identity.

Stoicism is not a promise that you will never feel angry. It is a practice of noticing the first movement, protecting your tranquillity, and choosing what happens next.
