Michael Kroth • Dec 10, 2021

Step by Step, Book II in the Profound Living Series is Now Published

Step by Step: Living More Meaningfully, Joyfully, and Deeply Each Day, is the second volume in the Profound Living book series, following Profound Living: Essays, Images, and Poetry. Step by Step is an exploration of what it means to live profoundly throughout our lives. This book was born from the collection of essays and images originally published on the Profound Living website in 2019.

In this book, we look at Living Meaningfully, Reflecting, Deepening Understanding, Being Intentional, Becoming Authentic, Presencing, Leading, and Stumbling Into Mystery. Beautiful, meaningful images introduce each section.


Essayists include Michael, Davin, and Carol, and also Kelly Anderson, Heidi Scott, and Vincent Fortunato.  Beautiful, color images by Marc Christensen, Antonia "TJ" Cardella, and Vincent introduce each chapter.  Marc's resplendent photos grace the front and back covers, along with Heather Barrett's elegant cover design.

Here we will take each step, step by step by step, along the path to profound living.


It was a joyful experience to write, edit, and to collaborate with Carol and Davin on this new book.  We hope it will add to the joy, meaningfulness, and depth of your own lives.


Step by Step: Living More Meaningfully, Joyfully, and Deeply Each Day can now be ordered on Amazon here:
