Please recommend me more depressing books in this vein.

Paul Piccone is similar, there's a good collection of his major theoretical essays published
https://c2cjournal.ca/2009/06/where-marx-and-conservatives-meet-the-writings-of-paul-piccone/

Also James Burnham, another Marxist, and Sam Francis who was a disciple of Burnham. Both developed the theory of the "managerial elite."

Start with either Culture of Narcissism or The Minimal Self.

This book is not depressing
Reading it gave me so many insights as to why modern ppl are so unhappy these days, thereby encouraged me to self reflect and improve
