The Biology of Anger

Dr Daniel & Tana Amen
About this episode

Why are some of us so quick to bursts of anger, road rage, or having negative thoughts about others while others seem to stay cool, calm, and collected despite the circumstances? The answer may lie in our biology. In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen continue their examination of the dragons from the past from the Dr. Amen's new book 'Your Brain is Always Listening'. This focus of this episode is on what triggers our 'Angry Dragon', how it manifests in our brain, and what we can do to tame them.
