That's the issue. You want the world to conform to your desires and it just doesn't work that way. If you want to play the desire and aversion game then you best get used to competing and living with everyone else's desires and aversions.

What I've been talking about thus far is mindfulness. Jnana Yoga is light years beyond that in accepting the human condition as not affecting your real nature whatsoever.
The essence of Jnana Yoga is you are not the body or mind so whatever affects body and mind doesn't affect you. That's a much more radical approach than simple mindfulness and since you don't think too much of that as a solution you aren't going to fair well with Jnana Yoga. Besides a prerequisite for Jnana Yoga is clarity of mind and that's a product of meditation and a good amount of it.
Long story short, there's no easy and fast solution. It's going to require a lot of hard work and work that will require facing the hard truths of the material world.
If you want a real solution try mindfulness meditation for a month but it has to be a daily practice of at least 20 minutes a day. If it helps stretch it out to three months and if that helps even more then make it a part of your lifestyle. Get a few years of that under your belt and you might be ready for Jnana Yoga.
Best online teacher of Advaita Vedanta which is heavily Jnana Yoga based is Swami Sarvapriyananda of The Vedanta Society of New York.
