How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question is a 2022 non-fiction book by American television producer and author Michael Schur. The book provides an introduction to many philosophical arguments on the concept of ethics, told largely in layman's terms and in a humorous tone. Schur had done extensive research into the subject for his television show The Good Place, and following its conclusion decided to write the book to summarize and pass along much of what he had learned. The book was well-received by some critics, with the New York Times Book Review calling it "a perfect starter course in analyzing why human beings do what we do".[1]
