"The Steps of Life: Further Essays on Happiness" by Carl Hilty is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This thoughtful work explores profound themes of happiness, sin, and sorrow, guiding readers on a philosophical journey toward a more fulfilling life. Hilty's insights draw from his extensive experiences in both public life and personal affliction, aiming to comfort and enlighten those seeking deeper meaning and understanding in their struggles. The opening of the work presents a contemplation on the intertwined nature of sin and sorrow, establishing them as the primary barriers to true happiness. Hilty asserts that happiness is often obscured by these realities, with sin being the root cause that must be addressed first. Through a blend of philosophical reasoning and practical advice, he invites readers to recognize the necessity of overcoming sin to achieve inner peace and a harmonious existence. Each essay serves to provoke thoughtful reflection on human nature and the pursuit of a worthwhile life, setting the tone for the exploration of happiness that follows.
