Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic Podcast. A year ago, back in June 2025, I was out in LA, I was doing a talk, my wife had a little family reunion, and then uh we swung out. near Malibu to go see Rain Wilson, Dwight from The Office, many other wonderful shows and movies, much more philosophical than you might guess, unless you've seen anything from his podcast, Soul Boom, or read any of his books.

And if you haven't read any of his books, well, I'm gonna fix that for you today, because I'm bringing you a chunk of his book, Soul Boom. The subtitle is Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution. And uh this chapters called The Seven Pillars of a Spiritual Revolution. So why do we need a spiritual revolution?

What are the pillars of that revolution? And basically he's he's tackling this big question, like how do we build a better world? Because it's not going to be tweaking these little things here or there. We have to think about the values that our world is built around, right? Ideally, we want to replace competition and greed and cynicism with cooperation and compassion and joy and service, or maybe even some of the stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom.
