a of a large number of short subjective treatments of various topics inspired by studies in the classics (especially ), as well as discursions into the autobiographical and anecdotal. Makes heavy use of the and the tense (e.g. "the song will have been being sung by an Angel when the fruits of love I desire will have been being consumed by me").

Here's the last Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on Plutarch's On Controlling Anger. This one looks at an excuse a lot of people make for their anger, that's it's really "righteous indignation" or more literally "hatred of wickedness"

One general remedy for anger in oneself or others Plutarch identifies and discusses is an attitude of cheerfulness. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode about that!

One of the ways Plutarch thinks we can be less angry is by adopting a simpler lifestyle, not being too fussy about or attached to having things a particular way. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode about that

It would be surprising for Plutarch the philosophical biographer not to discuss people who get things right. In On Controlling Anger he gives us some examples of how to do precisely that. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on that.

Interesting thought experiment I learned about while reading "Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know " by Adam Grant.

Sometimes when I determine what topics to focus on in a text in a set of core concept videos, I realize as I'm rereading that I left an important one out. Here's one of those topics from Plutarch's On Controlling Anger!

Here's a core concept video on Plutarch's great short work On Controlling Anger. We set ourselves up for getting angry by getting too picky, particular, or attached when it comes to things. Cultivating the right kind of simplicity, on the other hand. . .
