This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Stoic philosopher Seneca's work, On Anger, book 2

It focuses specifically on his discussion of famous people who manage their anger badly, providing us with examples of how not to behave. These include Persian kings like Cyrus, Cambyses, Darius, and Xerxes, Greeks such as Alexander of Macedon, and Romans like Sulla and Caligula
