What does it mean to be a good person? Michael Schur attempts to answer that question in his hilarious and thought-provoking new book, How to Be Perfect. The TV writer and producer has worked on hugely successful shows like The Office, Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but it was his research for his show The Good Place that kick-started his journey into philosophy — so much so that even though the series is over, he’s back to impart some wisdom in a clever, witty and accessible way. Schur joined Tom Power to tell us how he’s managed to turn huge philosophical ideas into bite-sized and engaging life lessons.
