Why people recommend it
Lies in a Mirror by Peter Charleton touches upon philosophical and cultural inquiries, though podcast guests referenced adjacent literary and philosophical contributions. On an October 2022 episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty featuring Lily Singh, the guest discussed an animated children's book titled Once Upon a Time, a Story That Never Happened, which tells the story of a princess trapped in a tower who wishes for another princess to rescue her rather than a traditional prince. Additionally, during a February 2022 episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast titled #261 – Philip Goff: Consciousness, Panpsychism, and the Philosophy of Mind, the guest spoke about contributing to an upcoming collective book project concerning different philosophers' opinions on God and various fundamental philosophical questions. While the exact titles and subjects varied across these discussions, the speakers used these literary references to explore subverted narrative tropes, alternative perspectives on historical storytelling, and collaborative philosophical investigations into ultimate reality, consciousness, and the divine. These mentions underscore how narrative frameworks and philosophical texts shape public imagination and academic discourse regarding identity, traditional expectations, and deep existential inquiries into the nature of existence and belief systems.

“I also have something I'm really passionate about; I don't know what we want to do with this yet, but there’s this kids' book called 'Once Upon a Time, a Story That Never Happened.' Don't quote me on the title, but essentially, it’s a children’s animated book about a princess trapped in a tower who doesn't want a prince to”
