Rainn Wilson on his Baha'i faith and why his success is connected to his spirituality

Ойын-сауық

For nine seasons, Rainn Wilson played the eccentric beet-farming paper salesman Dwight Schrute on The Office. As beloved as that character was, Wilson chalks up much of his success to his spirituality. He talks with Tom Power about the intersection between his acting and his faith, and his new book Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.

    I love his focus on serving others and fostering joy since those are universal concepts and acions that can be shared regardless of where you come from and what you believe.

    The bahai faith believes that wherever our talents are ..if they are not against god..they are here like a fruit of a tree..we need to work on our talents and its godly to do that..and art is a talent and it needs to be done..in the bahai faith it's a form of worship

    Are you sure this interview wasn't generated by AI? Because seeing a celebrity talk about these sings is so surreal it feels like an AI interview.

    Lol true in a sense. But Rainn Wilson, Justin Baldoni, Penn Badgley are talking about these things regularly. I mean they're all Bahai.

    Not at all. It’s a Persian faith like Zoroastrianism. Their prophets however created a new religion. More closely linked to Shia Islam than Judaism.
