SOUL BOOM
Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution
Comedic actor and performer Rainn Wilson, cofounder of the media company SoulPancake/Participant, explores the pursuit and importance of spirituality, as well as his own battles with addiction and mental health, to offer solutions for our broken world.
SOUL BOOM embraces an inclusive spirituality: spirituality, faith, and religion have been embraced, splintered, coopted, misunderstood, and rejected in countless ways. Rainn Wilson wants to reconsider it all, and try to understand what a spiritual life can mean to many different people, and to humanity as a whole. Wilson will explore the longing for higher truth as well as the eternal, non-physical aspects of ourselves that anyoneregardless of faith or non-faithcan relate to. Wilson's voice is imbued with the empathy we need-- he will supplement new perspectives and solutions to sensitive topics with personal reflections on his struggles with addiction, difficulties with mental health, and his father's death in the summer of 2020. The trauma of 2020 is not going away, and readers are hungry to seek answers to the big questions along with someone who feels and understands the pains so many of us have felt.
Rainn Wilson is perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated role as Dwight Schrute on the beloved, award-winning American adaptation of The Office, and is the host of the forthcoming docuseries, Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, tentatively airing in May 2023 and filming Summer 2022. The 6-part series is a deeply personal journey for the author and his own struggles with mental health. In each episode, he will travel to a different country to discover how changing your location and perspective can change your life. In SOUL BOOM, Rainn will be similarly honest about his mental health struggles and how spirituality has helped him there, creating a solid thematic tie-in.
Wilson has a 4.4M followers on Twitter, 2.8M on Instagram, and 997K on Facebook. His fans have a very direct connection with him, and they appreciate the soul searching and community building he's engaged in, both personally and through the SoulPancake/Participant platform. Our hope is that SOUL BOOM will connect with Wilson's fans much in the way that Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights resonated with his.
