Will getting angry help you live longer?

Written By Amanda Barusch

Given the potential health effects of suffocating our anger, it just might.

This insight came from my latest podcast, released by Lee Bentch of Crow’s Feet. I felt especially inarticulate the day it was recorded. My tongue kept stumbling over words but Lee was a great interviewer. He helped me relax and have fun. Then the editors took out all the uhms and ahs. It sounds great.

Here’s my favorite line: “So, I was just sitting there being 62 - figured I had a few years left.”

Here’s some feedback from listeners:

Lee, I loved your interview with Amanda.  She was a very articulate and lively guest with a great story…(Melinda Blau, author)

LOVED the Amanda Barusch episode -- and I found myself getting angry over how she was treated by her nasty boss! (Jan Flynn, Writer & Educator)

I enjoyed today’s episode with Amanda Barusch. She sounded knowledgeable and interesting. (Nancy Peckenham, Editor of Crow’s Feet)

I hope you’ll enjoy it!
