And one of the explanations is that when we learn a rule from other people passively, or sometimes even if we get it from a book or something like that, there's a tendency, an established tendency, to overextend it and apply it too rigidly. And that can cause problems.

Well, I've written a bit like famous philosophers and stuff, Chris. But I mean, all honesty, the thing that's... I sat down and I kind of thought, what if I could only write one more book? You know, what do I really, really, really, really want to write a book about? And I thought, oh, I'll write something that I really feel is going to benefit the maximum number of people.

So it's one of the biggest problems that I think people have. And it's something we've talked a lot about today, you know, for that reason, because it's kind of on my mind. I want to write a book about the philosophy and psychology of anger. Because it's one of those areas where there's a huge gulf between stuff that we actually know from psychological research.

We know loads about anger, but most people aren't told about any of the research. And anger plays a huge role in politics. And on the internet, we've got like sat trolling and cyber bullying and so much kind of aggression on social media and so much kind of hostility and aggression in politics.

But none of us are looking at it and thinking, oh, when people get angry, like their thinking becomes skewed. Like, for example, when people get angry, it's well known that they underestimate risk. So when you're really angry, you tend to expose yourself and other people around you to more danger than normal, right? We know loads of things like that about anger, right?

But most, the majority of people aren't aware that the research tells us all this kind of stuff. So to them, anger is just a feeling, right? It's not something that changes their thinking. And, you know... If that's what anger does, how does it affect the electorate? How does it affect the behavior of politicians? There are measurable problems that it would cause.

So I think there's a lot to be said. We've got some great... Seneca has an entire book called On Anger. And we can easily compare all of that ancient philosophical literature to... what some of the psychological research says today. So I think people can benefit a lot from working. I call anger management, the Royal road to self-improvement because most people that seek self-improvement, like,

Anxiety and depression are self-blaming emotions, right? So people that are anxious or depressed tend to seek self-help or therapy. But angry people don't seek therapy, typically. Because if I'm really angry, Chris, I think you need therapy, buddy, not me. Right. So angry people avoid self-help.
