There is this beautiful little short book by Alan Watts, written in 1950 already:
The Wisdom of Insecurity - LINK. Sometimes, when I am in master-of-the-universe mode, I want to strap mankind on a table and then force this book with a hammer into mankind's stupid tiny little nutshell of a brain.
If I were a therapist still, I would put this book into not few patients hands. Not that a blood-thirsty mob of hateful and hysteric barbarians can be impressed by such gesture. Why cant they just get lost, like the dinosaurs (that they are).
