Anger, Compassion, and What It
Means To Be Strong | Russell Kolts | TEDxOlympia
While anger can feel powerful in our
bodies, many of us use angry behavior to avoid dealing with things that
make us uncomfortable. Compassion gives us a way to be strong that helps
us courageously face the things that scare us—about the world, and about
ourselves—and help make them better.
