Still Worth It
How to Navigate the Takeover of AI Without Losing Yourself
By Xavier Marcus (Author)
"What if your worth was never about your paycheck?"
You studied. You trained. You worked hard to build a skill, and now AI is changing the world of work faster than anyone expected. If you feel anxious, discouraged, or quietly wondering whether what you do still matters, you are not alone.
Inside the book, you'll learn how to:
- Grieve what's changing without losing hope
- Separate your worth from your income and job title
- Anchor yourself in your values and the people who matter
- Use AI as a tool without losing yourself
- Follow a simple 30-day reset plan
"This isn't a book against technology. It's a book for you. Because human consciousness is irreplaceable. And so are you."
My First Goal
A Children's Book About Courage, Heart, and Giving Your Best
By Xavier Marcus (Author) · Dedicated with love to his son, Christian
"The best thing you bring to the field is you."
Written specifically for young readers and dedicated to Xavier's son Christian, My First Goal follows a shy boy with worn sneakers, a plain t-shirt, and a heart full of love for soccer. When tryout day arrives and the other kids have shiny new cleats and matching jerseys, he feels small — until he learns that courage, effort, and belief are things no store can ever sell.
A warm, uplifting picture book for kids (ages 4–8) exploring confidence, stepping onto the field even when you're nervous, and celebrating personal growth. Includes interactive "Let's Talk About It" conversation questions for parents, teachers, and coaches to read together.
