As an ethics novice, How to be Perfect was a great introduction to moral philosophy.
It does a great job of explaining three branches of moral philosophy and walking you through ethical questions using the framework of those branches. It's also entertaining, funny, and easy to read.
Towards the end it touches on some other topics like intersectionalism and existentialism with less depth. This might be a shortcoming but for me it has sparked an interest in exploring these topics, and philosophy in general, further.

This book was beautiful and heartbreaking and life-affirming, while also being interesting and informative. I found myself contemplating becoming a funeral director, and wondering if I've always been a little goth at heart. Looking forward to reading more from Campbell in the future!
