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
