The premise of this book is that we all admire 'goodness' but that actually defining what constitutes a 'good' life is problematic. Although obviously conceived as the theme for a book, rather than a serious exploration of the subject, it still proves to be both provoking and amusing. His check list approach includes Random Acts of Kindness (RAKs), ecologically-sound living and new age values (amongst others), but his cynicism eventually finds flaws in them all.
