I dive into the works of Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and Kant to share five psychological pillars that will help you build inner sovereignty and resilience. We explore why rejecting modern victimhood in favor of radical responsibility is the only path to true psychological maturity. I also explain why a harmless man is not a good man, discussing the necessity of integrating your aggression and choosing meaningful suffering over empty comfort. Finally, I challenge you to speak the truth even when it risks your social approval, as this is essential for maintaining trust in yourself.
