About this book

"Happiness - Essays On The Meaning Of Life" is a 1903 work by Carl Hilty that explores the subject of happiness and how it can be attained. Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling "Self-Help" by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as "self-improvement" books. Contents include: "The Art of Work", "How to Fight the Battles of Life", "Good Habits", "The Children of this World are Wiser than the Children of Light", "The Art of Having Time", "Happiness", "The Meaning of Life", etc. Carl Hilty (1833–1909) was a Swiss writer, philosopher, and lawyer. He was an advocate for women's rights long before the subject became mainstream, but is perhaps best remembered for his quote, "Peace is only a hair's breadth away from war." Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an essay from "The Art of Being Happy" by Timothy Flint.
