 Introduction to the science of anger

The first part of this blog will cover the science of anger based primarily on the research of Paul Ekman and his book "Emotions revealed" of which I have also made a book review. Click here or on the image below to watch it. 

The second part is based on my personal experiences treating many patients in my clinic in CPH, Denmark and my own inner journey. I do not agree with Klaus Schwab, the CEO of World Economic Forum, on much, but I do think he is correct in stating that "we must prepare for a more angry world". If knowledge is power then reading this blog should empower you 🌞

- The facial expression of anger
