How to Be Perfect

The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question
Book • 2022
This book provides an introduction to various philosophical arguments on ethics, presented in a humorous and accessible manner.

Michael Schur, drawing from his extensive research for his TV show 'The Good Place', covers concepts such as deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, and more.

The book starts with simple ethical questions and progresses to more complex moral issues, aiming to make ethics relatable and understandable.

Schur argues that while perfection is unrealistic, striving to live a more ethical life using pieces of different philosophical viewpoints is a more practical and fulfilling approach.
