Podcast guests Andrew Huberman, Dr. Susan David, and Rainn Wilson discuss unlocking the power of the human mind, managing emotions, and healing from childhood trauma. They explore practical strategies for emotional agility, the connection between thoughts and physiology, and the importance of self-reflection and mindfulness.

Our post-modern culture has largely dismissed faith and spirituality as a collective pursuit. But today’s guest has a different perspective. He argues that we need to find practical spiritual solutions to help humanity move forward. In other words, we need a total spiritual revolution—what he calls, a Soul Boom. Enter Rainn Wilson, the co-founder of the media company SoulPancake, co-host of the podcast Metaphysical Milkshake with Reza Azlan, and the author of the new book “Soul Boom: Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution”. Oh yeah, and he once played a character in a television show called 'The Office.' You might have heard of it.Today we discuss Rainn’s Bahá’í faith, his conception of the divine, the importance of finding meaning in life, the positives (and negatives) of religious belief, how to build a movement of change, finding the sacred in our everyday lives, and why the solutions to the existential problems we currently face require a spiritual revolution. This conversation is an equal parts fun and profound call to awaken our spiritual selves and engage in a deeper, more meaningful experience of the world around us. I hope you learn as much as I did.Show notes + MOREWatch on YouTubeNewsletter Sign-UpToday’s Sponsors:InsideTracker:  insidetracker.com/RichRollAthletic Greens: https://www.athleticgreens.com/richrollGoMacro: gomacro.com BetterHelp: BetterHelp.com/richrollPeace + Plants,Rich
