Tomorrow night on Insight, guests including some well-known Australian identities, discuss how they deal with Anger.

From those who have undergone anger management, through to those that say they don’t experience the emotion at all.

Anger has been viewed as a negative emotion, unproductive and destructive – but what if it can actually be good for you?

This program will get honest about anger – its limitations and its potential.

Join guest host Anton Enus as we look at how anger works in the brain and in society. Insight asks: can we use it for positive gain?

Guests include:

Adam Liaw
Television chef and Lawyer: “I never got angry in those negotiations, but if somebody else did I would think that was Christmas for me.”

Mark Geyer A.O.
Radio host and former NRL player: “It’s dangerous to get angry because sometimes you don’t realise what you’ve just done until it’s too late.”

Matt Kemp
Television chef and Restaurateur: “They would screw up and I’d just go right, just f***ing go, pick your knives up, throw his knives out of the door and say you follow them and just get out. I’ve had enough.”

Nat Evitt
Has felt and acted on extreme anger. “They just tell you what they think you want to hear and that will pacify you, and that just makes me wildly angry.”

David Matsumoto
Professor of Psychology: “I heard one characterisation about how anger is an irrational emotion … I don’t really think that that’s true. I think that every emotion that exists in us is not rational or irrational, they’re functional.”

Tuesday at 8.30pm on SBS ONE.
