Big fan of moral philosophy me, but the only thing more convincing than the research that moral philosophy doesn't improve people's behaviour is actually studying moral philosophy.

You can absolutely use moral philosophy to improve your behaviour (and I do, although usually not super directly), but the thing is that you have to start from actually wanting to improve your behaviour.
