A humorous and thought-provoking guide to leading an ethical life, based on 2,500 years of global deep thinking, from the creator of The Good Place and cocreator of Parks and Recreation.
The majority of individuals consider themselves to be "good," yet defining what is "good" or "bad" is not always simple, particularly in a society full of difficult decisions, dangers, booby traps, and poor guidance. Luckily, there are many of intelligent philosophers who have been thinking about this problem for millennia and can offer us advice. How to Be Perfect explores ideas like deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, ubuntu, and more in a lighthearted and perceptive style that can help us become better people and sound good at parties.
Schur begins by posing simple moral dilemmas, such as "Should I strike my friend in the face without cause?" (No.) and advances to the trickiest moral dilemmas that confront us all. For example: Can I still appreciate excellent art if the creators were horrible people? How much cash should I donate to a good cause? When there are no repercussions for misbehaving, why even try to be good? and a lot more. By the time this book is finished, we will be able to behave in every possible way to achieve the verifiably maximum quantity of moral good. All of our friends will be envious of us as we will be flawless. Not nearly, okay. Rather, we'll learn new, humorous, and inspirational insights on the most difficult problems we deal with on a daily basis.
