Comedy actor, producer, and writer Rainn Wilson explores the problem-solving benefits that spirituality gives us to create solutions for an increasingly challenging world in this New York Times bestseller.
"[Soul Boom] will light up your brain, warm your heart, and tickle your funny bone." —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
The trauma that our struggling species has experienced in recent years—because of both the pandemic and societal tensions that threaten to overwhelm us—is not going away anytime soon. Existing political and economic systems are not enough to bring the change that the world needs. In Soul Boom, Rainn Wilson explores the possibility and hope for a spiritual revolution, a “Soul Boom,” to find a healing transformation on both a personal and global level.
For Wilson, this is a serious and essential pursuit, but he brings great humor and his own unique perspective to the conversation. He feels that, culturally, we’ve discounted spirituality—faith and the sacred—and we need profound healing and a unifying understanding of the world that the great spiritual traditions provide. Wilson’s approach to spirituality—the non-physical, eternal aspects of ourselves—is relatable and applies to people of all beliefs, even the skeptics.
Filled with genuine insight—not to mention enlightening Kung Fu and Star Trek references—Soul Boom delves into ancient wisdom to seek out practical, transformative answers to life’s biggest questions.

This book really does give a fresh perspective on the concept of devotion, service, God, and a spiritual plan for the survival of humanity. Oh and I really quite like the car analogy by the way.

Rainn does state the increasingly urgent challenges that we all face, several times in fact, and not necessarily in the order I would have chosen. He leaves much of it until the end. I would not disagree with any of the shortcomings he highlights. His answer to this overwhelming challenge is, of course, a spiritual revolution. I was particularly pleased to discover that he describes what he believes the world might look like after the revolution and the evolutionary process we would have to go through to get there. I do not happen to agree with him on a number of points, but that does not detract from it being he who has acted to publish this book with a view to making the world a better place.
I suspect that I am not part of the intended target audience for the book. Although the spirituality he describes is very broad in scope and sound, I found it without much depth. Indeed, he left important stuff to the last few paragraphs of the book as if his audience might not be ready for it yet.
In summary, if the idea of a spiritual revolution being necessary to overcome the difficult times to come is new and interesting to you then this is a very entertaining book with which to start your journey.
