In This Interview, Christian Conte and I discuss Radical Anger Management and…

His book, Walking Through Anger: A New Design for Confronting Conflict in an Emotionally Charged World
Working with our own anger
The relationship between our ego and our anger
Anger management
That our expectations influence our experience of the world
Hindsight bias
How anger is a wonderful motivator
That if we loosen our grip on being right, we can humble ourselves to receive other perspectives
The metaphor of only being able to see one side of the box
Switching to a position of curiosity
That certainty is an emotion, not a cognition
Leading humility and curiosity lessens the intensity of a situation
By saying, “here’s what I’m seeing, please teach me about what you’re seeing”, you can change the energy of the conversation
How we can drain our own limbic system in the midst of feeling angry
What it means that our mind wants to match our body
Why he recommends that we go to bed angry (instead of following the old adage that says otherwise)
That when we understand something intellectually, we think we’ve mastered putting it into practice in our lives
That extreme language produces extreme emotions
How we’re not disturbed by things – we’re disturbed by our view of things
That certainty is at the heart of a lot of anger
