Rainn Wilson’s memoir about growing up geeky and finally finding his place in comedy, faith, and life.   For nine seasons Rainn Wilson played Dwight Schrute, everyone''s favorite work nemesis and beet farmer. Viewers of The Office fell in love with the character and grew to love the actor who played him even more. Rainn founded a website and media company, SoulPancake, that eventually became a bestselling book of the same name. He also started a hilarious Twitter feed (sample tweet: “I''m not on Facebook” is the new “I don''t even own a TV”) that now has more than four million followers.   Now, he''s ready to tell his own story and explain how he came up with his incredibly unique sense of humor and perspective on life. He explains how he grew up “bone-numbingly nerdy before there was even a modicum of cool attached to the word.” The Bassoon King chronicles his journey from nerd to drama geek (“the highest rung on the vast, pimply ladder of high school losers”), his years of mild debauchery and struggles as a young actor in New York, his many adventures and insights about The Office, and finally, Wilson''s achievement of success and satisfaction, both in his career and spiritually, reconnecting with the artistic and creative values of the Bahá’í faith he grew up in.From the Hardcover edition.

Best-seller del New York TimesActor de comedia, productor y escritor, Rainn Wilson, cofundador de la compañía de medios SoulPancake, explora los beneficios de la resolución de problemas que nos aporta la espiritualidad para crear soluciones en un mundo cada vez más desafiante.El trauma que ha experimentado nuestra especie en los recientes años (debido a la pandemia y a las tensiones sociales que amenazan con abrumarnos) no desaparecerá a corto plazo. Los sistemas políticos y económicos existentes no son lo suficientemente eficaces para producir el cambio que el mundo necesita. En este libro, Rainn Wilson explora la posibilidad de que una revolución espiritual, un «Soul Boom», produzca una transformación sanadora, tanto a nivel personal como global.Para Wilson, ésta es una empresa seria y esencial, pero él la aborda con un toque de humor y desde su propia perspectiva singular. El autor considera que, desde el punto de vista cultural, hemos descartado la espiritualidad –la fe y lo sagrado– y que necesitamos una sanación profunda y la comprensión unificadora del mundo que nos proporcionan las grandes tradiciones espirituales. El enfoque de Wilson sobre la espiritualidad (nuestros aspectos no físicos, eternos) es cercano y se aplica a las personas de todas las creencias, incluso a las escépticas. Con una visión genuina, Soul Boom –por no mencionar las iluminadoras referencias a Kung Fu y Star Trek– se sumerge en la sabiduría ancestral para buscar respuestas prácticas y transformadoras a las preguntas más importantes de la vida.
