For over a decade, TV writer and producer Mike Schur has tried his damnedest to create shows that exemplify the enduring powers of kindness, authenticity, and the innate desire to be decent versions of ourselves. The Good Place, which centered on a group of endearing try-hards learning how to be good people, is his latest and likely most aggressive example of this effort. We like to think that a lot of us make daily attempts to put our best foot forward, but a few of us still struggle with the concept. So it’s a good thing Schur is writing a book titled How to Be Good: A Definitive Answer for Exactly What to Do, In Every Possible Situation, which will put things in black, white, and hopefully the clearest of terms.
