Soul Boom

Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution

De: Rainn Wilson

Narrado por: Rainn Wilson

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.

Inspirational!

Everything about this book was inspirational and Rainn Wilson is one of the best narrators I’ve ever listened to!

Not usually my subject of choice…

While religion and spirituality aren’t usually something I am drawn to, this book was extremely informative and well presented. A long time fan of Rainn Wilson, I figured I would give it a shot and I’m glad I did. Rainn won me over by not only speaking to his own faith and spirituality, but by providing educated examples of all faiths and spiritual practices. It felt more like a well educated, down to earth conversation, rather than the all too familiar I’m right/you’re wrong type. Rainn presents a very compelling way for us to all do better, make positive changes and bring some much needed relief to our “blue marble”.

Intelligent and funny.

Very much enjoyed it! Author is thoughtful, analytical and funny in presentation. Great for those who wish to ponder life and also enjoy The Office.

Deep and humorous

Great listen. I’m a huge fan of “the office”. I’ve appreciated getting to know this side of Rainn as well. ❤️❤️
