Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world.

Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of The Daily Stoic podcast a year ago back in June 2025.

I was out in L.A. I was doing a talk. My wife had a little family reunion.

And then 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 going to 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 this chapter is 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, it'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 that that we have to think about the values that a world is built around, right?

Ideally, we ought to replace competition and greed and cynicism with cooperation and

compassion, and joy and service, or maybe even some of the stoke virtues, courage, discipline,

justice, and wisdom.

So in this lovely little excerpt, it's going to be laying out some ideas for what a kind

of spiritual revolution could look like.

Rain's been on the Daily Stoic podcast.

I think we had a great conversation.

Talk about philosophy and spirituality and stoicism.

That was a two-part episode.

I'll link to that.
