This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Controlling Anger.

This episode focuses specifically on how anger arises for many people out of being too attached, fussy, or particular about matters, and how deliberately cultivating simplicity can help promote the opposite of anger, the virtue of mildness or good temper (praotēs)
