Adam's post helps explain why I started writing most of my books. e.g.,
The Knowing-Doing Gap (Pfeffer & I disturbed by leaders doing the opposite of what they knew was right)
The No Asshole Rule (Jerks driving me nuts)
The Friction Project (Rao & I pissed off at red tape, petty bureaucrats)

The purpose of negative emotions is not to cause misery. It’s to prevent mistakes.
Outrage is a signal to speak up. Anxiety is a prompt to prepare. Guilt is a reminder to repair. Disappointment is a cue to persist.
Pain reveals principles. Where we hurt is a clue to what we value.
