My Dad recently gave me old cassettes of Earl Nightingale. I started listening and realized the cassettes were ruined. I found him online pdf of some of his audio, as well as some youtube. He may be more leadership, so maybe only parts of what he says will pertain to what would help your son now.
Another thought I had is EST, Tony Robbins and the like kind of sound to me secular versions for like needing God, talking to God and asking Him for answers and guidance, which works in conjuction with also have 1-2 good Christian people to talk to as well. I don’t mean to be pushy, it’s just what kept coming into my mind as I read what you and others posted.
Yes, that occurred to me too. You don't seem pushy at all.
I'm a Christian (raised Catholic) but we're not members of a church. My son professes belief in God (after going through a time in high school when he said he did not), so that's a possibility.
They said he swallowed a lot of anger. Along with a lot of pizzas!

I wonder if there are many people who know what EST is.
I'm sure in 1981, many people would have gotten the joke.
In 2016, I'd wager pretty few.
