When life gets overwhelming and hard, where do you turn? Rainn Wilson–best known as Dwight Schrute, the ambitious, beet-loving paper salesman on The Office–turns to “the notorious G-O-D.” Rainn’s parents raised him in the Baha’i faith and he put it aside in his 20s when he was a struggling actor exploring life in NYC. Years later, after finding success in Hollywood, he realized fame was not enough to calm his anxieties nor soothe the longing in his soul. So Rainn turned inward, returning to the Baha’i faith and discovering the value that spirituality brings to us as individuals and as a community. This “spiritual revolution,” is one that Rainn sees as containing multiple religions and faith traditions, where spiritual tools such as prayer and meditation can go hand in hand. Instead of “throwing the spiritual baby out with the religious bathwater,” as Rainn says, collectively engaging with matters of the soul will help us all find strength and deeper meaning when faced with the highs and lows of life.
