For nine seasons, Rainn Wilson played the eccentric beet-farming paper salesman Dwight Schrute on The Office. As beloved as that character was, Wilson chalks up much of his success to his spirituality. He talks with Tom Power about the intersection between his acting and his faith, and his new book Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.

Wow. Just wow. I'm blown away. I had no idea how deep this actor is. There are so many ideas in here to think critically about! Bravo!!!!

I love his focus on serving others and fostering joy since those are universal concepts and acions that can be shared regardless of where you come from and what you believe.

Because of the behavior of many people are moving away from religion but what he talking about it makes sense .

Amazing interview. Enjoyed hearing greatly about how one should strives to live a life coherent with their beliefs and occupation. Really love how all these different factors (occupation, family, arts, etc) surround one’s spirituality and service to mankind.

Buen programa identificando que los actores interiormente algunos tienen la herramienta divina que es esencial para ser personas dignas de llamarse nobles.

The bahai faith believes that wherever our talents are ..if they are not against god..they are here like a fruit of a tree..we need to work on our talents and its godly to do that..and art is a talent and it needs to be done..in the bahai faith it's a form of worship

Are you sure this interview wasn't generated by AI? Because seeing a celebrity talk about these sings is so surreal it feels like an AI interview.

Lol true in a sense. But Rainn Wilson, Justin Baldoni, Penn Badgley are talking about these things regularly. I mean they're all Bahai.

Not at all. It’s a Persian faith like Zoroastrianism. Their prophets however created a new religion. More closely linked to Shia Islam than Judaism.

It’s similar to the ahmadia

@@demoror5585 Perfect. _Ali was the true head of the Moslem Faith and the First Imam, not the Caliphs. The Caliphs put Ali fourth but He was the first Imam. Shiah Islam is the closest to the truth not Sunni. The Sunni Muhammadens have to become Shiah to become Bahá'í._ (Shoghi Effendi)
