Would you like to find contentment in the everyday? Joining Sarah Grynberg is actor, comedian, and writer, Rainn Wilson. As a star of American comedy series, The Office, Rainn is widely known as the performer who brought the iconic character, Dwight Schrute, to life. Behind the scenes, he’s a social and environmental advocate, philanthropist and the author of bestseller, Soul Boom.

In this touching episode, Rainn and Sarah discuss his experiences with depression and anxiety, how he has searched for meaning along the way and eventually found spirituality. They also delve into his successful career and how playing Dwight had it's down side, how he channelled his trauma to create comedy, how he deals with being envious of other people, and, why being a star of The Office was a great opportunity, but he didn’t enjoy every moment.

If you’re looking to make changes in your life, and the world, but are unsure if you have the will to make it all happen, then let this episode be the proof that you can. Anyone with unique qualities and quirks can harness and embrace them to make a positive impact, as Rainn has.
