Zábavný sprievodca od tvorcu seriálu Dobré miesto a spolutvorcu seriálu Parky a rekreácia o tom, ako správne žiť, ktorý čerpá z 2 500 rokov hlbokých úvah mysliteľov z rôznych končín sveta o etike a ľudskej morálke. Väčšina ľudí si o sebe myslí, že sú „dobrí“, ale určiť, čo je„dobré“ (alebo „zlé“), nie je vždy ľahké, najmä v dnešnom svete plnom komplikovaných rozhodnutí, nástrah, pascí a zlých rád. Našťastie nad touto ťažkou otázkou sa už pred tisícročiami zamýšľali mnohí inteligentní filozofi a majú pre nás návod. Kniha Ako byť dokonalý vtipne a s nadhľadom uvažuje nad morálnymi dilemami a po jej prečítaní získate nový, zábavný a inšpirujúci pohľad na veci, ktorý vám pomôže robiť správnejšie rozhodnutia a v konečnom dôsledku sa stať lepšími ľuďmi.

What makes for a good life, or a beautiful one, or, perhaps most important, a meaningful one? Throughout history most of us have looked to our faith, our relationships, or our deeds for the answer. But in A Significant Life, philosopher Todd May offers an exhilarating new way of thinking about these questions, one deeply attuned to life as it actually is: a work in progress, a journey -- and often a narrative. Offering moving accounts of his own life and memories alongside rich engagements with philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger, he shows us where to find the significance of our lives: in the way we live them. -- Provided by publisher

Friendship in an Age of Economics is the first book not only to detail the relationships neoliberalism encourages us to have, but also to see how friendship can provide a bulwark of resistance to them.

Can we lead a fundamentally decent life without taking such drastic steps? Todd May has answers. He's not the sort of philosopher who tells us we have to be model citizens who display perfect ethics in every decision we make. He's realistic: he understands that living up to ideals is a constant struggle. May leads readers through the traditional philosophical bases of a number of arguments about what ethics asks of us, then he develops a more reasonable and achievable way of thinking about them, one that shows us how we can use philosophical insights to participate in the complicated world around us.
