This book explains the philosophical underpinnings of β€œThe Good Place” sitcom that was created by the author. With musical interludes and narration by the show's cast plus β€œreal” philosopher Todd May, this primer is a serious study of moral philosophy and ethics. Narration by this lofty group of performers makes it a lot of fun to listen to but the content is true philosophy and ethics. These topics require a lot of focus by the listener to provide understanding of the issues addressed despite the pop culture rewards. Certainly an enjoyable way to study how to be a better person.
