Acerca de esta escucha

In a world full of suffering and deprivation, it's easy to despair - and it's also easy to judge ourselves for not doing more. Even if we gave away everything we own and devoted ourselves to good works, it wouldn't solve all the world's problems. It would make them better, though. So is that what we have to do? Is anything less a moral failure? 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. In A Decent Life, May leads listeners 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. He explores how we should approach the many relationships in our lives - with friends, family, animals, people in need - through the use of a more forgiving, if no less fundamentally serious, moral compass.

With humor, insight, and a lively and accessible style, May opens a discussion about how we can, realistically, lead the good life that we aspire to.

Simple and Inspirational

Read clearly and gracefully, this book leans on philosophy in order to help you be a better person in daily life, out of solidarity with those around us and not because there's a moral law ordering it. Whish Audible will record more of May's books

Thought provoking

Good food for thought. It caused me to consider some things that I had not before, and that is what I got this book for.

Insightful and Thought Provoking

As the title of the book suggests, it is concerned with leading a decent life, what that means, how we might go about it, and why we should. The author lays out well reasoned arguments while allowing space for variation within the specifics. The narrator does a masterful job of capturing the voice and presenting complex concepts in an approachable way.
