EP82_Life as a {Spiritual} Actor with Rainn Wilson

Rainn Wilson as most of you know played one of the most socially iconic television characters of the last decade or two.

I mean, who doesn’t know The Office or the guy he played, Dwight Schrute. That role helped transform Rainn into a globally recognized and lauded actor, however if you didn’t know, he represents a ‘bit’ more than that.

For example, even before his rise to fame on The Office, he was in a bunch of notable films and TV shows like Almost Famous, HBOs Six Feet Under amongst others. Post The Office he has been a busy guy.

However, the biggest takeaway you may derive about Rainn from my conversation with him is just how spiritual he is.

In fact his latest book, 'Soul Boom, Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution' is what we based our conversation around.

We had this great philosophical discussion about life, living and of course careers.

We went big picture (pie in the sky if you will) to look at things like his thoughts on:

*why we need spirituality within our work

*how and why becoming more spiritually evolved can really help us achieve much greater personal fulfillment and ultimate success 

*what we need for happiness and fulfillment in our lives

*his struggles in his career even when he was seemingly on top of the world (he makes a statement on that which may surprise some)

Also worth noting and not to worry, I did manage to slide in one direct The Office question about Dwight that you won’t want to miss.

All up, I think people are really going to enjoy this conversation for both the deepness of it all, but also the breaks of levity throughout.

I know I came away refreshed and equipped with some new ways of considering all things life, living and beyond.

I hope this chat will come to represent something similar to you too.
