Yeah, I felt pretty depressed and helpless after reading the book too. It was like, what am I meant to do now?! I was funny because I already sort of knew what he was saying in the book, but I just didn't know how to put it all together into one coherent idea.
I second maddiii in that you should look up "Into the Wild." Haven't seen the movie, but I read the book. It's about Chris McCandless. People argue whether he's a hero or an idiot, but that's not the point. He was someone went out there to find that elusive something instead of just sitting around. He really lived life and it seems that he was happy for it.
I hope more people reply to this. It'd be interesting to see other people's thoughts.
