Episode notes

In the Baha'i faith there are elections and it's kind of like a 12 step meeting. You elect what's called a local spiritual assembly to get to guide the affairs of your local community. Every year you do that and you write down names silent ballot and you pray and meditate and then nine people are elected. Why couldn't you do that in a small town? Because no one says I think I would make a good assembly member, he said.

Rainn Wilson is an actor, writer, producer and podcaster known for his role as Dwight Schrute on The Office. He has also written several books including “Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution”, which is out now.

Rainn Wilson joins Theo Von on This Past Weekend to chat about his life in entertainment, landing the role of a lifetime, being a spiritual outsider in Hollywood, how to be a happy human being on planet earth, and more.
