33 分钟Hey there, it's Shemitha here.
We're taking some time off this week, so we are revisiting an episode that we loved from the past year.
It's a really thoughtful, at times surprising conversation about finding meaning and joy in life with a very special guest.
I hope you enjoy it.
This is in conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today here exploring life's big questions with Rainn Wilson.
You probably know him best as this guy.
Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, would an idiot do that?
And if they would, I do not do that thing.
That's the actor Rainn Wilson in his Emmy nominated role as Dwight Schrute on the hit NBC comedy the Office.
He says that's how people see him, as Dwight, but of course, he's not Dwight.
He's Rainn.
He's a real person who's lived a real life with real struggles.
And the one constant that's helped ground him is spirituality.
I love learning about religious faiths.
I love reading the Vedantas and the Bhagavad Gita and the writings of the Buddha and the Quran and the Bible.
This is not a topic that he takes lightly.
I've thought about going to like divinity school or something like that.
This is not like a hobby or pursuit that's like, oh, this is a fun, quirky little side interest, kind of like pickleball.
