The Office's Rainn Wilson on meaning and happiness
Rainn Wilson was a late bloomer: he landed the role of Dwight Schrute on \u201cThe Office\u201d after over a decade of struggling as an actor. But success didn\u2019t solve all of his problems \u2014 and it even created some new ones. In this live conversation for the Authors@Wharton series, Adam asks Rainn about his unlikely journey to stardom and how it led him into exploring the insights that philosophy, psychology, and the world\u2019s great spiritual traditions can offer on modern life\u2019s existential questions. They also discuss Rainn\u2019s favorite moments from \u201cThe Office\u201d and do some improv when Dunder Mifflin invites a certain organizational psychologist to talk to Dwight.
