I'm studying emotional philosophy and I think it's great advice. Executive function disorders stem from an inability to healthily feel and use anger. If you had a parent who monopolized expressions of anger during your childhood, you're going to have problems with executive function as an adult.

Fear and anger are like look and leap. People who can't feel anger can only look and never leap.

Why is this the case?

Anger's the 'do something' emotion. We associate it with the big 'do something' events like flipping over a table, but it also governs everything you do all day long.

Nearly every statement in this entire thread needs to have a 'maybe' inserted somewhere in it.
