Completely disagree. I was abused by my step dad for years and did or said nothing. Until the day he put hands on my sister and I got so ANGRY that I smashed him in the back of the head with a toolbox. At 11yo, my anger was our saving grace. Not my fear of getting beat again. Not the sadness of the my life. My rage at my sister being hit. My rage exposed him and saved us from said situation. Anger is necessary to survival.
"Losing your temper," is the weakness. Not becoming angry. I have to remind myself of that. It's what I decide to do with the anger that counts. It's my responsibility to make the right choices.
i literally live everyday angry and it is tiring and exhausting. my problem is not being able to control myself against people who want to push my buttons
my childhood is rough i got beat alot, my parent have their thinking that they r god that i can never be right im always wrong, im 22 now i still have anger issues till today, after watching this videos, i kinda get the idea that acuatlly anger is my weakness, exploding to everyhting is wrong! thx
When people raise their voice to me I have learned to think: The louder they yell, the more afraid they are. People raise their voice because they feel like they are losing their power. True courage is being able to stand there, eye to eye, and honestly say what needs to be said.
THANK YOU Jocko! I am a Marine grunt and was driving to work this morning with my wife, I listen to your podcast Evey day as I drive. Me and my wife found this podcast very help and interesting as I am an intense individual (or so I've been told)
Man, I was in my thirties before I started to realize that losing my temper was weakness rather than strength. I really think I would have learned sooner if I'd had it explained in this way. You're doing a good thing, JW. Keep it up and Be Cool.
I wasn't able to to control my anger until I was in my late 30's and became a parent for the first time. Before that, I'd fly off the handle over anything. I never hurt anyone physically. But I'd throw stuff across the room. Etc. Having kids made me have that patience.
I had a very unstable childhood which led me to have this constant anger inside me and I just can't control my nerves like whenever I get really angry for whatever reason it comes to a point my whole body is shaking like crazy. Your advice is simple yet it did just happen to calm me down because I was angry just now and I'm getting sick of this anger. Thank you.
"Anger is a sign of weakness" i like that

Anger doesn't work in the modern world.

"Temper's the one thing you cant get rid of, by losing it. " - Dr. Buddy Rydell (Anger Management.) ;)
Anger sure can be dangerous; just look at everyone who's in jail for street fights or killing somebody. Not worth ruining your life over some punk.

I pray to God I never see Jocko nodding his head.
Anger is NOT a sign of weakness. It's actually a healthy emotion. How you RESPOND to the emotion could be considered weak.

Thank you, Jocko. I'm going to watch this with my 11yr old son. This is great.
I always feel like an ass after I blow my top. Like I have failed, even if it was justified.
Anger is one letter away from Danger, as they say.
Thank you.
