The teachings on the lack of a intrinsic self are meant help us to realize that there is no hard limit on how good it is that we could make things, because no thing has a fixed nature, we can be free. You can certainly mull in a nilhist like state about it or you could see it as the factor then enables freedom. It has to be a choice, you have to want to become better.

The book that helped me more then any other to get out of that spot myself is 70 Stanzas on Emptiness: A Buddhist Psychology of Emptiness you might want to get him a copy, it really turned me around.

Only one thing makes you a Buddhist -- taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma (his teachings), and the Sangha (his followers). This means you see them as the means for escaping all suffering and reaching enlightenment.

It's important to note here that taking refuge in the Sangha means you see them as good companions on the path to enlightenment. Part of this is realizing that many of them are not enlightened so they suffer from the same afflictive emotions and mental states that you do, so don't be surprised if they piss you off from time to time. :P

But anyways, if you're interested in Buddhist teachings, that's great. There's so many of them to choose from it's pretty easy to get a bit lost. If you're into philosophy, especially existential philosophy, I'd look into Madhyamaka, and Nagarjuna's Seventy Stanzas is a great start to that. In a nutshell, Madhyamaka is about philosophical refutation of all philosophical viewpoints (including it's own), so if you like having nowhere as a home I think it'd sit well with you.
