EP 80 The 7 Spiritual Lessons of the Good Place

In this episode we do something a bit different and explore the American TV series called the Good Place to extract from it seven spiritual lessons. At the start of the episode, I describe the premise of the show, without revealing the plot twist that comes at the end of the first season. If you have not watched it, I highly encourage you to do so.  I refer back to EP 28 which answers the question of whether it is spiritual to help other people. Here are what I consider the seven spiritual lessons of the Good Place are:  1. Life is complex and it is actually fairly hard to decide if a decision is good or bad 2. Lying is not always morally wrong 3. If you do good with an ulterior motive, it defeats the point 4. You don't need to go to a monastery in Tibet in order to become enlightened 5. We all have free will 6. Every day it gets harder to be a good person 7. We all need a purpose in life.
