Should You Try to Be Less Angry? | No Stupid Questions | Episode 108

Why do we get angry? Can we learn to let go of anger? And what can golfer Jon Rahm, whose anger once dominated his game, teach us about emotional regulation?

What evolutionary purpose do our emotions serve? If laughter transcends culture, language, even species, how does it connect to our survival?

Hosts Stephen J. Dubner and Angela Duckworth discuss emotions — and practice their own emotional regulation skills — in this episode of No Stupid Questions from Freakonomics Radio Network.

ABOUT NO STUPID QUESTIONS:
Research psychologist Angela Duckworth (author of Grit) and tech and sports executive Mike Maughan really like to ask people questions, and they believe there’s no such thing as a stupid one. So they have a podcast where they can ask each other as many “stupid questions” as they want. New episodes each week.

ABOUT THE FREAKONOMICS RADIO NETWORK:
Freakonomics began as a book, which led to a blog, a documentary film, more books, a pair of pants, and in 2010, a podcast called Freakonomics Radio. Hosted by Stephen J. Dubner, it’s one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with a reputation for storytelling that is both rigorous and entertaining. Its archive of more than 500 episodes is available, for free, on any podcast app, and the show airs weekly on NPR stations. Freakonomics Radio is now the flagship show of the Freakonomics Radio Network, which includes the podcasts No Stupid Questions, People I (Mostly) Admire, and The Economics of Everyday Things.
