I need a book to tell me all this is not real. That it is just a sensory illusion or something like that. I get worked up over things and get anxious and start drinking and stuff like that. Tell me that nothing matters.

Some nigger over here earlier recommended me Straw Dogs, I want something that deals with things on a more personal level.

I need something for the long term. I want to change my worldview. Especially get out of this bugman mentality about hustle and productivity and shit.

Cant recommend any books but It sounds like you would really benefit from the film La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty). Its about an Italian writer who grows disillusioned with life (his Roman high society life in particular). It shows how he deals with this deep, and ultimately inevitable existential disillusionment, through a change in his perception of the world. He takes a step back and finds that much of what people concern themselves with and stress over are ultimately meaningless. Godspeed anon.
