Rainn Wilson's memoir, The Bassoon King, chronicles his journey from a self-described "bone-numbingly nerdy" childhood to finding fame and success as an actor on The Office and as a founder of the media company SoulPancake. The memoir explains how Wilson developed his unique sense of humor growing up, his time struggling as a young actor in New York, and how he ultimately found career satisfaction and spiritual fulfillment reconnecting with his Bahá’í faith.
