Review
When I was asked to write a blurb about Mike Schur's book on ethics, I thought: no sweat, I'll just skim a few chapters, make something up, and then lie about having read it. After reading a chapter or two, I realized I had missed the point of the book. So I read the whole thing, and I can honestly say it's brilliant. How to be Perfect takes the delightful, funny lessons of The Good Place, and applies them to everyday life
― Ted DansonAs someone who worries that a deep dive into morality will ruin my fun and problematic life, I was certain this book wouldn't be for me. Boy, was I wrong! It's so brilliant and funny and warmly written you don't realize you're becoming a better person just by reading it
― Mindy KalingHave you ever wanted a friend to explain ethics so that you could understand the subject completely with minimal effort on your part? Well, meet your friend Mike Schur. This book will help guide you through the thorniest moral conundrums with clarity and hilarity, and it will greatly up your chances of ending up in...the Good Place
― Kristen BellHow to be Perfect is a kind, thoughtful, incredibly funny reflection on what it is to be a good human being. As a human being myself, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am certain that other human beings will enjoy it as well
― Steve CarellRead How to Be Perfect and laugh while you learn how to be a better person. And imagine what a great passive-aggressive gift this book would make! Hand it to someone and say 'I saw this and thought of you.' Then they say 'Oh, did you read this?' and you smile and say 'I don't need to'
― Amy PoehlerHilarious, thought-provoking, and ridiculously silly, How to be Perfect is a great read for anyone who loved The Good Place - or anyone who wants to be a good person. And as a bonus, once you've read the book, you become perfect
― Jake Tapper, CNN AnchorAn enjoyably boisterous guide to the moral life. If you want to become morally better and don't mind being entertained in the process, you've picked up the right book ― Jeff McMahan, Philosophy Professor, Oxford
An absolute breeze to read; funny and enlightening and revealing ― Guardian
It's not only very funny [...] but there is real meat to the work too ― Irish Times
Enormously enjoyable, useful and readable ― The Times

I could avoid the footnotes but every so often there is one that provides further context or history of the topic or person being talked about, so I just get irritated by the other kind.

And there’s a very moving (well I found it so) letter to his children at the end that advises them about how to be good people. Quite beautiful.
