Story
Most people think of themselves as “good", but it’s not always easy to determine what’s “good” or “bad” - especially in a world filled with complicated choices and pitfalls and booby traps and bad advice. Fortunately, many smart philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia, and they have guidance for us. With bright wit and deep insight, How to Be Perfect explains concepts like deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, ubuntu, and more, so we can sound cool at parties and become better people.

Good but disconnected.

This is a good book to learn about Hollywood morality, but little else. Mike Schur is funny, but this is a good example of confirmation bias in action. He had ideas going in, and found some support for them then wrote a book about it. It's not bad, but it's not very good philosophy and was not as funny as advertised.

Story
America is coming apart. An illegal immigration crisis has broken out along America's Southern border, there are race riots in Detroit, a fiery female rancher-turned-militia leader has vowed revenge on the president for his arrogant policies, and the world's most notorious terrorist is planning a massive attack that could destroy the United States as we know it. Meanwhile the president is too consumed by legacy-seeking to see our country's deep peril.

Excellent, albeit terrifying book!
Reviewed: 11-17-16
Narrator was a little irritating because he kept using a long "A" sound for the article "a". Other than that he seemed decent. The story is excellent, although hearing it leaves one generally worried for the direction this country is headed. Fortunately, this is just fiction and we still have time to fix the country if we are careful!
