How to be Perfect: the correct answer to every moral question.
Quercus. 2022

It’s not always easy to determine what’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’, especially in a world filled with complicated choices and terrible advice.

Fortunately, many clever philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia. And betters still, the award-winning creator of The Good Place is here to guide you through the moral maze with his trademark bright wit and deep insight.

Breaking down the history of ethics into inspiring everyday wisdom, How to Be Perfect is a fresh, funny and fool-proof guide to making the correct moral decision in every situation you could ever encounter, anywhere on Earth, forever – including:

• How much money should I give to charity?
• Can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people?
• Should I punch my friend in the face for no reason?
