HOW TO BE GOOD

by L. Rust Hills ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 12, 1976

Be good and you'll be happy--it's as simple as that (even if the long playing subtitle extends it to ""Or, The Somewhat Tricky Business of Attaining Moral Virtue in a Society That's Not Just Corrupt But Corrupting, Without Being Completely Out-of-It."" Mr. Hills, a general practitioner of living well--How to Do Things Right or How to Retire Well--writes here with a little more seriousness about scruples (which will make you a successful loser), the distinctions between good and bad, sexual morals (adultery is divisive to any relationship), pseudo-values, getting involved or dropping out. And he's all too aware of our devaluated ethics in a society revved up by advertising and strangulated by bureaucracy. Nothing you mightn't have thought up yourself, or as Thoreau put it, ""Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
