Description

Larry is joined by actor Rainn Wilson and they begin their conversation by reminiscing about their time working together on ‘The Office’. Next, they dive into Rainn’s new Peacock show ‘Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss’, talk about the origins of the project, and detail its search for the definition of happiness within different cultures around the world (8:37). After the break they examine Wilson’s new book ‘Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution’ and explain the thematic connections it draws from in classic TV shows like ‘Kung Fu’ and ‘Star Trek’ (34:13). They end the pod by breaking down the importance of sacredness and pondering humanity’s artistic integration with nature (40:00).
