Suppressing our anger, or attempting to rid ourselves of it completely is something many people try in order to become ‘more mindful’. But each of our emotions, including anger, serves a valuable purpose. In this brief episode, Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo explains how, although we might aspire to be free from anger, a healthy expression of anger can motivate us to set boundaries, or take fierce, compassionate action for what we believe to be right. For a deeper dive into the subject of healthy anger, Sean recommends Sharon Salzberg’s book Real Change. Sean Fargo is the founder of Mindfulness Exercises and the lead teacher of the site’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program.
