... that in his book How to Be Perfect, Michael Schur sought to "wade into some deeply confusing and painful applications of moral philosophy ... but in a fun way"?

Source: "...Schur makes good on his promise to 'wade into some deeply confusing and painful applications of moral philosophy, stretching and straining and chewing on really tough questions that plague us in our daily lives, that cause us anxiety and anguish and often lead to loud arguments with our closest friends and family. But in a fun way!'" Kirkus Reviews

ALT1: ... that cast members of The Good Place read parts for the audiobook version of Michael Schur's ethics text How to Be Perfect?

Source: "Down to the musical cues and audio cast (which includes the actors Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, Manny Jacinto, and Jameela Jamil), How to Be Perfect could be considered a companion piece to the author's recent hit, The Good Place." Modak, Sebastian. The New York Times Book Review. March 13, 2022. pg 9.

Approving both hooks, with preference to ALT0. Article is long enough and moved to mainspace 2 days before DYK submission. Article is presentable and copyvio-free; if possible, I would recommend adding URLs for the sources that don't have them. Hooks are interesting and sourced well; I think ALT0 is more interesting. QPQ done. Other than that, nothing to comment. Thank you for your submission DrOrinScrivello! Kimikel (talk) 02:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
