"How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question" by Mike Schur, the creator of the Netflix hit "The Good Place," is an accessible and humorous introduction to moral philosophy. The book guides readers through ethical decision-making by exploring major philosophical theories such as virtue ethics, utilitarianism, and deontology, and applies these frameworks to everyday moral dilemmas. Schur shares his personal journey of learning about ethics, inspired by his work on "The Good Place," and emphasizes that moral perfection is unattainable. Instead, he encourages continuous improvement, learning from mistakes, and striving to be better over time.

The book includes practical advice on how to navigate ethical challenges, such as making apologies correctly, understanding the role of privilege and luck in moral decisions, and grappling with complex issues like charity and moral responsibility. It stresses the importance of asking key ethical questions, considering consequences, and seeking balance in virtues. Schur also discusses John Rawls' "veil of ignorance" concept for fairness and underscores the interconnectedness of humanity.
