Someone cuts you off in traffic, and suddenly the blood rushes to your head. Or at home your child knocks over a glass, and your voice rises until it sounds strange even to your own ears. A few minutes later the anger fades; what remains is regret, and a hurt face. In this conversation we talk about anger control, why anger hits hardest the people closest to us, and the simplest cure Seneca gives in his book On Anger: waiting. Plato's raised hand and Seneca's short nightly self-review are part of this prescription too.
