Twenty Ways to Lie to Yourself

A Conversations with the Devil Omnibus (Humanae Conditioni)

De: Daniel Wescott

Narrado por: Julia Garlotte, Michael Mau, Elizabeth Pan, Anastasia Wilson

Thought-provoking philosophical fiction. Psychological literary fiction. Dark, dialogue-driven stories about guilt, grief, trauma, identity, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.

There's a voice in your head that won't let you hide.

In this collection, that voice has a face.

Across twenty existential, emotionally layered stories, ordinary people at their breaking points find themselves seated across from a figure who calls himself the Devil. Sometimes he's calm. Sometimes cruel. Sometimes unsettlingly compassionate. Always precise.

These aren't stories of temptation.

They are conversations.

Conversations about:

• Free will and the illusion of control
• Inherited trauma and parentification
• Moral self-deception and self-licensing
• Grief that fractures identity
• The social construction of truth
• AI ethics and unintended consequences
• The masks we wear until they fuse to our faces

Each story is grounded in psychological research and philosophical inquiry, transformed into intimate, dialogue-driven encounters that feel personal, unsettling, and uncomfortably human.

The Devil here is not religious doctrine. He is a literary device — a modern trickster archetype — a mirror held up to the human condition.

If you enjoy existential fiction, psychologically complex characters, morally ambiguous storytelling, and dark intellectual drama in the spirit of philosophical parables and speculative ethical confrontation, this audiobook will stay with you long after the final conversation ends.

It won't offer easy answers.

It won't provide comfort.

But it may help you see yourself more clearly.

The Devil is patient.

He's got time.

And now… you do too.
