The Harder You Try, The Worse It Gets - The Philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky

Pre-order my new book, 'The Terrible Paradox of Self-Awareness,' now (out March, 2026): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F...
Other retailers: https://publishing.andrewsmcmeel.com/...

This book is the result of two years of work. It explores the pain, wonder, and meaning of being conscious—how awareness can be both a gift and a curse, and how we can live well within this paradox.

In this video, we explore the life, work, and philosophy of novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. Specifically, we look into Dostoevsky's views of what it means to suffer, desire happiness, live morally, and define and strive toward these goals in the modern, Western world.
