Books can help but you will have to meditate.
Ppl who don't fear death used to be idiots like ppl who go too fast in bike. Or don't care abt their future. If you meditate and lose your fear of death you will stay sane but the fear will be gone.

The Necromantic Ritual Book is a short book teaching how to grow closer to death rather than fearing it.
It was written to help people overcome the fear of death. I don't see any other good options in this thread.

You can download it for free. Its 59 pages.

Stop worring about the things you cannot change anon. Otherwise you end up like me. A lonely loser who was afraid to step out into the world and end up as a 31 y/o neet living in the sparr bedroom of your mothers house. Go live and enjoy the time you have, okay?

I DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM WHEN I WAS TEN YEARS OF AGE, BY MYSELF, BY COGITATING, WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY BOOK; I WAS FORTUNATE, THOUGH, TO HAVE A CATHOLIC FORMATION, WHICH HELPED AS THE BASIS FOR MY OVERCOMING OF MY MORTALITY ANGST.

YOU CAN READ THE HOLY BIBLE —ID EST: NOT A HERETICAL BIBLE—, AND LVCIVS ANNÆVS SENECA'S «DE BREVITATE VITÆ», AND «DE CONSOLATIONE AD MARCIAM».

No literal book, but, rather, prospiration & aetheropressurization —or, figuratively: the living, transcendent book of weaving wor(l)ds, forming ph(r)ases, and structuring your sentence(s) with martial diligence.
