Trying to be more cruel is a waste of time. Read about the lives of successful people instead.

The Power Broker by Robert Caro is very good. It's one of those books that puts a lot of US politics into perspective by revealing just how much of all "this" we've seen before in the country's history, particularly all the corporate interest stuff. Robert Caro is generally very good at that, though his book on the Mueller report takes a begrudging tone about how there is no conclusive finding to the collusion thing, making it clear that he felt very strongly about it despite being mostly impartial. The rest of his work is fairly solid though.
