Read books. What will help you out of this is out there somewhere but you may only find it through serendipitous channels. I have read several books that totally unwound my previous education/experience and led me out of the current state of the shared common knowledge rut in a particular domain/field. While that has added to my contempt for the current state of things I am farther ahead and able to make better choices on where to focus my attention. The challenge for anyone as their knowledge and capabilities improve is that the number of existing opportunities in which they can be fully engaged approaches zero. So ultimately you will feel better if you are open to creating opportunities for yourself.
