This question has plagued people for thousands of years, but it's never been tougher to answer than it is now, thanks to challenges great and small that flood our day-to-day lives and threaten to overwhelm us with impossible decisions and complicated results with unintended consequences.

Plus, being anything close to an 'ethical person' requires daily thought and introspection and hard work; we have to think about how we can be good not, you know, once a month, but literally all the time.

To make it a little less overwhelming, this fascinating, accessible and funny book by one of our generation's best writers and adept minds in television comedy, Michael Schur, boils down the whole confusing morass with real life dilemmas (from 'should I punch my friend in the face for no reason?' to 'can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people?'), so that we know how to deal with ethical dilemmas. Much as Chidi used humour and philosophy to make Eleanor a less selfish person, Schur takes us on a journey through the 2,500-year discussion of ethics, sketching a roadmap for how we ought to act along the way.

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

With contributions from Professor Todd May of Clemson University, who served as an advisor on The Good Place, this is a brilliant, clever and hugely entertaining book about one of the most important topics in the world.
 

你很想用自己的方法對世界釋出善意,但世界毫不留情地打你的臉。
而且,我們每天要做的事情已經夠多了,誰又有那個時間、金錢、精力去思考道德呢?

劇透!你可以用輕鬆詼諧的角度,來重新思考艱澀難懂的道德問題。

✭你是不是永遠搞不清楚,在經典的「列車問題中」,你到底要直接把五個人撞死、拉起操縱桿故意殺掉另一個人,還是把強壯的唐恩推到軌道上,來救那五個人?
✭身為披薩店老闆,你是否應該為了讓某人得到好處與更多的喜悅,而停止生產正常(好吃的)披薩,然後把時間全部拿來做夏威夷(違反自然定律的)披薩呢?
✭是否有任何一個一體適用的理論,可以解釋何謂「好」人或「壞」人呢?
