Publisher's summary

In this New York Times bestseller, comedic actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson explores the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world.

The trauma that our world experienced in recent years—as result of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—has been unprecedented and is not going away anytime soon. It is clear that 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” in order to address today’s greatest issues—mental health, racism and sexism, climate change, and economic injustice.

For Wilson, this is very serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we’ve thrown the baby out with the bathwater—and that bathwater is spirituality, Faith and the Sacred. The baby is us, and we are in need of profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that religion provides. Sharing his experience of losing his father during the summer of 2020 as well as his personal struggles with addiction and mental health, Wilson is an empathetic narrator and thinker who listeners will appreciate and trust. Wilson’s approach to spirituality—the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves—is relatable and will apply to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics. Filled with genuine insight—not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references—the book offers the keys to delving into ancient wisdom and seeking out practical, transformative answers to life’s biggest questions.

So inspiring and motivating

I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone who wants to be better at being human and to find how to better connect with your soul. Regardless of your religion you should read because it feels inclusive and inspiring for all.

Transformative

Don't give in to cynicism!

I found the answer to what I was seeking in this book. It broke down so many barriers that I had built between myself and finding a higher power. I am so grateful for the change in perspective that I experienced and I hope that Rainn's message of hope, faith, love, and compassion spreads far and wide.

cue the "everyone should read this"

if you're just getting this bc you liked the office, this might not be for you. but this is an excellent commentary on religion and spirituality. My innly complaint is that he plugs his own projects a little too often. Great book though!

Thought provoking and inspiring

I went into this as a person who had indeed, thrown out the spiritual baby with the religious bath water. But now after having finished this, I have a new perspective and intention for spirituality.
I’ve been telling friends non-stop about this book and cannot recommend it enough.
If you’re not sure if you want to give this a listen, throw caution to the wind and you won’t regret this one.
