Anger Issues

Scott Galloway opens up about his personal struggles with anger, a trait he believes he inherited from his father. He recounts childhood memories of waiting for his father, who often arrived late, and witnessing his father's anger manifest during car rides. This inherited anger, Scott admits, has been a hindrance in his life, describing it as "acid running through my veins" that eventually leads to numbness and depression 1.

   

Managing Anger

To manage his anger, Scott Galloway has adopted several behavioral modifications, emphasizing the importance of grace and indifference. He describes how he used to keep a mental scorecard of wrongs done to him, but now strives to let go of minor grievances, understanding that others may not intend harm. Scott shares his strategy of "casting them into the darkness," where he mentally shrinks and forgets those who have wronged him, believing that "the best revenge is to live a much better life" 2.
