Ep382 - Rainn Wilson | Soul Boom


Listen Later

Comedic actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson visits Google to discuss his book "Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution." The book is a deep-dive into the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world. The trauma that our species has experienced in recent years is not going away anytime soon. Existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In this book, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a "Soul Boom," to find a healing transformation on both a personal and global level. For Wilson, this is a serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that culturally, we've discounted spirituality, and we need the wisdom that the great spiritual traditions can provide. Wilson's approach to spirituality—the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves—is relatable and applies to people of all beliefs, even the most skeptical among us.
