"The Natural Golf Swing" by George Knudson addresses a lot of these misconceptions.
I think the main thing to take away from that fantastic book is that golf is all about the set up. Just square yourself to your target, relax your hand pressure, and let the club do the work. Don't "get in the way" of your swing. Ignore the ball and focus on letting the centrifugal force of the club pull your shoulders out of their sockets. Don't try and control the club face with your hands and arms, let them stay neutral. The trunk of your body controls the club, and the club shapes your wrists.
