THE GOOD PLACE Creator Is Writing a Book About HOW TO BE GOOD
The Good Place is a fantastic show, and it raised the question of how to be a good person. Now, the show’s creator, Michael Schur is writing a book about being good. This is Schur’s first book and according to Simon & Schuster, has the tentative title of How to Be Good: A Definitive Answer for Exactly What to Do, In Every Possible Situation.
It will explore the last 2500 years of ethics using humor and philosophy and look at the big ideas. In addition, Professor Todd May of Clemson University will also contribute to How to Be Good. May served as an advisor on The Good Place, so he should be a good fit for this book.
The book, tentatively called How to Be Good: A Definitive Answer for Exactly What to Do, In Every Possible Situation, will use humor and philosophy to determine how we should deal with the large and small ethical challenges we all face every day. Schur will take readers on a journey through the 2500-year discussion of ethics, explaining and poking fun at these grand ideas, and sketching a roadmap for how we ought to act.
How to Be Good is currently slated to release in Fall 2021.
