Every book Angelo Somers recommended on podcasts

Angelo Somers appeared on Modern Wisdom to discuss human psychology, meaning, and the root causes of personal fulfillment and resentment. During the episode, Somers brought up Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky and strongly recommended it to the audience. He explained that the text delves deeply into the psychology of resentment, examining the various weird shapes that resentment can take within the human psyche and the ultimate conclusions to which it can lead a person. Furthermore, Somers referenced Notes from Underground again to illustrate a specific philosophical point regarding human nature and societal expectations. He described a segment in the book where Dostoevsky discusses a potential utopia, suggesting that even if people were given all the land and houses and allowed to busy themselves entirely with eating cake and reproducing their species, they would still ultimately rebel or cause destruction just for something unexpected to happen. Through these discussions, Somers used Dostoevsky's literary insights to explore complex behavioral concepts.
