About this episode
John Lovell discusses how modern men often unwittingly sabotage their own success, referencing Dostoevsky's work.
"Your worst sin is that you've destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing." These were the words of Rodion Raskolnikov, the protagonist in Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Today John Lovell joins us in studio to unravel how this plays out in the life of modern day men; men who sabotage (often unwittingly) the success of their very own lives.
