About This Lesson
Say you’re about to take a test or give an important presentation at work, would you rather be calm and collected or angry and agitated? You would probably think calm and collected, because being angry would likely throw off your concentration. Though that would seem logical, it’s also wrong, at least in some cases. Studies have shown that being angry or agitated can actually sharpen your concentration. I know it seems counter intuitive, but if you are ticked off about something, you’re likely to be more critical and analytical about solving problems.
