Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution

Listening to Rainn Wilson's book made me smile for nine hours.* I couldn't help but imagine that it was written by Dwight** after having a spiritual transformation. “Soul Boom” is filled with beneficial and quirky wisdom for how to help heal ourselves and our world. The contemplative and eclectic style was perfect for me. I look forward to adding the physical book to my collection.

And hey, perhaps this book will truly be a catalyst for enlightened change. Perhaps, someday in the near future, I will hear: “Okay, Soul Boomer!” shouted (or muttered) in my direction. A spiritual girl can dream. Haha




* Because that's how long it was.
** I only watched “The Office” last year, and it was well worth the wait! I was shocked that it was as amazing as everybody said it was. My next read will be Rainn's memoir. #MakingItRainn

This book is a mix of random opinions that are tiresome to read and highly relevant insights on the state of our society and mindset today. I was thrilled with parts of the book that presented the insights for what they were and called out the dangers of our stance on all affairs of individualism. On the other hand, other parts of the book were highly simplistic and glossed over all the nuance and complexity of religious belief and human behaviour.

I found myself skimming over large parts of the book. All the same, I am glad to have read it.
