Rainn Wilson: Soul Boom

Would you take spiritual advice from Dwight Schrute? Best not; the most irritating character on The Office is not only fictional, he’s perhaps the least qualified source of life wisdom. By contrast, Rainn Wilson—the brilliant actor behind Dwight—might be worth lending an ear to. Wilson cofounded Soul Pancake, producing videos devoted to positive world change. Soul Pancake quickly expanded and was picked up by Participant, a global multimedia company pursuing the same goals.

Now with his book Soul Boom: Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution, Wilson asks us to consider things bigger than us all—to think about the spiritual elements of life in very difficult times. We all share in the misery of a splintered society and a post-pandemic emotional hangover. And there’s only so much the government or economic titans can do to right the wrongs that keeps us awake nights. Wilson says the missing ingredient is a “soul boom”: a spiritual healing both global and individual. Spirituality, he argues, can bring us a unifying understanding of the world—inspiration and insight that sacred and spiritual traditions provide. And he makes his case with the humor that made us laugh so hard at, and even with, Dwight.
