March 16, 2022 S4E09 Michael Schur: "Distraction can be a trigger to purposeful creativity."
Today Hollywood producer and screenwriter Michael Schur (The Good Place, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Recreation, The Office) joins Laura to talk about his new book 'How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Dilemma'. Michael digs into to some of moral philosophies that have shaped our world for centuries and that frame a lot of the storylines in The Good Place. He considers how we define our sense of right and wrong, whether or not it’s possible to live a wholly ethical life, and how a belief in God fits into our approach to morality. He also - which might seem unusual for this podcast - talks about the power of distraction in leading you to your purpose.
