How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question by Michael Schur
5.0
I LOVED this book (particularly the audiobook version). It’s a perfect blend of educational, entertaining, insightful, and thought-provoking. As someone who’s been wanting to learn about philosophy but gets confused when things get too theoretical too quickly, this book was a perfect introduction to moral philosophy. It used a great variety of examples to help illustrate the main schools of thought and often brought different schools back in different contexts to further those examples. The humor was dry and witty, and I really enjoyed it all.
For the audio aspect, the author was a delight to listen to (especially with the inventive system for reading footnotes, which is so great it should be used in any audiobook that has them). I loved the inclusion of the cast of The Good Place for certain moments as well.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about moral philosophy in a way that doesn’t feel like learning.
