Depends on your exact source of worry. If it’s the mass dumbing down and commercialisation of general society, I really like the hopeful note at he end of Fahrenheit 451.

Stop watching porn and start lifting. Depression is a way for your chubby, sugar-addicted, indoor-bound body to tell you "kys you little cuck"
