About this listen

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.

Profoundly funny and simply profound

This book did not disappoint! As expected, it was funny. Perhaps less expected (sorry Rainn) was the deeply thought provoking subject matter and insights. Definitely a book for the soul on all levels. Thank you.

easy to listen to

I've been missing the metaphysical milkshake podcast and this was an excellent substitute. Rainn writes and reads an informative and thought-provoking book about religions in a humorous, non-judgmental and easy to digest way.

A very different perspective on the state of the world.

Rainn Wilson has compiled from humanity’s best thinkers - ancient and modern - a simple, practical, achievable plan to save the world.

Soul Boom could be my favourite book of the year

For someone like myself, who is attempting to find happiness and spirituality, this book was an eye-opener and uplifting.
I enjoyed that Rainn read his own words. It was fitting, considering his humour is sprinkled throughout the book.
It was also helpful Rainn explained the spiritual evolution of humankind to the present day, where we've come from, where we are and what we could do to create a happier world and more fulfilling place to live.
Soul Boom could be my favourite read of the year!

quite biased and annoying

I finished it not out of interest but rather distaste for its entire being. It was so bad I had to keep listening in hopes maybe it would get better - it did not.
