A Flash of Slight Anger Can Sharpen Your Focus

When you need to make a tough decision, just think about the last time you were angry. Sounds counter-intuitive, but a little anger can actually help you choose better, a study suggests. Just don't work yourself up into a rage. That state still sends all reason out the window. **Get Lightly Steamed, Think Straight** Researchers put college coeds in an angry state and then asked them to read a couple of arguments about students' spending habits. One argument was weak, the other strong. Students were better able to spot a stronger argument when they were a little peeved. Why? Anger may trigger adaptive behaviors -- the kind of behaviors that allow people to adjust to circumstances and make productive, constructive choices.  **But Don't Lose It** Fleeting moments of anger may give you focus, but chronic tension and hostility will take a toll on your health -- possibly increasing your risk of heart disease. **Are you a hothead?
