In this episode of Perennial Wisdom, we explore the moral and psychological depth of Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of the greatest novelists and spiritual thinkers in history. From his near-execution in 1849 to his rebirth in the prisons of Siberia, Dostoevsky’s life became a living parable of human suffering, redemption, and love.

Drawing from Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot, we uncover three perennial lessons for the modern world:

• Freedom without responsibility leads to despair.
• Suffering is the path to self-knowledge.
• Love is the final answer to the problem of evil.
