How to be Perfect - Michael Schur

Such a fun book. Schur is the guy that created 'The Good Place'. This book is a fun guide to making moral and/or ethical decisions.

I'm about a quarter of the way into this one! Really enjoying it so far.

I picked up this book last year without knowing anything about it, Michael Schur or The Good Place.

TBH I was initially confused thinking "who IS this guy" and then we began watching the series while I read the book. It is really entertaining *especially since we ended up being home with Covid so we worked our way throughout most of the show while quarantined

My initial thought is "die in the woods and nobody finds you."
Maybe I should read the book.

Yeah, I totally see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but the premise was so ridiculous that we got a kick out of it.

I recently listened to the audiobook, read by him with guest appearances by the actors from The Good Place! It was an extremely fun listen.

I listened to this audiobook while jogging. I loved it, and I loved the Good Place. I loved hearing about the philosophy that went into the show, and I enjoyed the philosophy refresher- it's been awhile since I took a philo class.
