2022: 10/10 would recommend the audiobook to any fan of The Good Place

I took a class in college that was a year long review of morality and ethics and a recap of a variety of thoughts about how the world works - this would be a perfect textbook for that class. It's a high level primer on philosophy that stays very secular. I listened to the audiobook, and it was voiced by members of the cast of The Good Place - it was such a joy to hear those voices participating in discussions on moral philosophy again! It's basically like you were a student of Chidi's (minus the Peeps-Chili).

If you're looking for a recap of Schur's time spent directing TGP, this might end up being too academic for you. But if you're unfamiliar with TGP at all and you're looking for a book on moral philosophy, this is probably going to be too relaxed for you.

+1 for two amazing epigraphs at the beginning of the book (from [a:Maya Angelou|3503|Maya Angelou|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1379017377p2/3503.jpg] and [a:Albert Camus|957894|Albert Camus|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1606568448p2/957894.jpg], literally perfect for this book) and another +1 for Schur using she/her pronouns to refer to anyone whose gender was slightly ambiguous. This really shouldn't be so shocking for me to hear in a pretty progressive book, but it still makes me so happy!
