The steps of life: further essays on happiness

"The Steps of Life: Further Essays on Happiness" by Karl Hilty is a collection of essays from the early 1900s, that takes readers on a thought-provoking exploration of happiness, interwoven with the realities of sin and sorrow. Drawing from both his public life involvement and personal sorrows, Hilty seeks to bring comfort and clarity to those grappling with life’s difficulties, suggesting that sin and sorrow stand as major obstacles to genuine happiness. He argues that confronting and conquering sin is necessary for finding inner peace and living a balanced life, inviting introspection on what it means to live a meaningful life and how to look at happiness.
