THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the writer and executive
producer of the award-winning Netflix series The Good Place that
made moral philosophy fun: a foolproof guide to making the correct
moral decision in every situation you ever encounter, anywhere on
earth, forever * 'An absolute breeze to read; funny and
enlightening and revealing' - Guardian 'Enormously enjoyable,
useful and readable' - The Times How can we live a more ethical
life? This question has plagued people for thousands of years, but
it's never been tougher to answer than it is now, thanks to
challenges great and small that flood our day-to-day lives and
threaten to overwhelm us with impossible decisions and complicated
results with unintended consequences. Plus, being anything close to
an 'ethical person' requires daily thought and introspection and
hard work; we have to think about how we can be good not, you know,
once a month, but literally all the time. To make it a little less
overwhelming, this fascinating, accessible and funny book by one of
our generation's best writers and adept minds in television comedy,
Michael Schur, boils down the whole confusing morass with real life
dilemmas (from 'should I punch my friend in the face for no
reason?' to 'can I still enjoy great art if it was created by
terrible people?'), so that we know how to deal with ethical
dilemmas. Much as Chidi used humour and philosophy to make Eleanor
a less selfish person, Schur takes us on a journey through the
2,500-year discussion of ethics, sketching a roadmap for how we
ought to act along the way. By the time the book is done, we'll
know exactly how to act in every conceivable situation, so as to
produce a verifiably maximal amount of moral good. We will be
perfect, and all our friends will be jealous. OK, not quite.
Instead, we'll gain fresh, funny, inspiring wisdom on the toughest
issues we face every day With contributions from Professor Todd May
of Clemson University, who served as an advisor on The Good Place,
this is a brilliant, clever and hugely entertaining book about one
of the most important topics in the world. 'The problem is, if all
you care about in the world is the velvet rope, you will always be
unhappy, no matter which side you're on.' - Tahani Al-Jamil, The
Good Place
