Most people think of themselves as good but it's not always easy to determine what's good or bad especially in a world filled with complicated choices and pitfalls and booby traps and bad advice. Fortunately many smart philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia and they have guidance for us. With bright wit and deep insight How to Be Perfect explains concepts like deontology utilitarianism existentialism ubuntu and more so we can sound cool at parties and become better people. Schur starts off with easy ethical questions like Should I punch my friend in the face for no reason? (No.) and works his way up to the most complex moral issues we all face. Such as: Can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people? How much money should I give to charity? Why bother being good at all when there are no consequences for being bad? And much more. 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.
