Michael Shur, producer of famous series "In the best world", "office" and "Black Mirror" wrote a bright, sparkling and very useful book about what it means to be a good person in the modern world. The basis is an analysis of philosophical ideas in a 2500 -year history.
Many people consider themselves "good", but it is not always easy to determine what is good or bad in reality, especially in our complex world, filled with common beliefs, ambiguous views and cognitive distortions. Fortunately, smart philosophers thought about this issue for millennia, and we can take advantage of their ideas, which will help us build a better life.
Shur starts with simple questions, such as Can I hit a friend in the face for no reason? (no), and goes to the complex moral dilemmas, which we are faced with regularly, for example: “Can I still enjoy the great works of art if they were created by terrible people? How much money should I give to charity? Why do you even need to be good, if you can be bad? ” And much more. By the time the book is finished, you will know exactly how to act in any situation in order to bring the maximum amount of moral good. You will become perfect and all your friends will envy. Okay, not really. You will gain new deep knowledge on the difficult issues that we encounter every day, and will apply them in everyday life
