"Nothing is inherently offensive. Something happens. Someone shares something. If something was inherently offensive, every single person would get offended. The fact that every single person is not getting offended means it's not that thing that is offensive. It's something within you that's being activated by that external event." - Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

In this profound conversation, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee delves into the psychological prison of holding grudges and constantly taking offense. Through personal stories and professional insights, he reveals how society often validates and rewards us for holding onto grievances, while rarely acknowledging the hidden costs to our physical and emotional well-being. Dr. Chatterjee shares his own journey of navigating public controversy during the George Floyd protests, using this experience to illustrate how our need to be right can trap us in cycles of stress and emotional turmoil.

The discussion expands into a deeper exploration of how our inner world directly impacts our physical health. Dr. Chatterjee challenges conventional thinking about offense-taking, explaining that in a world of eight billion people, expecting everyone to share our views is not only unrealistic but potentially harmful to our well-being. Through examples from his medical practice and personal life, including his marriage, he demonstrates how letting go of the need to be right can transform our relationships and overall health, offering a compelling case for choosing happiness over righteousness.
