In WORTH IT , Dr. Mitch Javidi offers a raw and deeply human exploration of identity, resilience, and the quiet power of reclaiming oneself. Through the journey of the Rustic Self , readers discover that brokenness is not an ending but an invitation—an opening to bend, to breathe, and to return to one’s life with greater clarity and strength. Across fifty reflections known as The Returns , Javidi guides readers through moments of fracture, silence, courage, humility, leadership, and ultimately, homecoming. Each reflection serves as both a mirror and a compass, steady, honest, and pointed toward a deeper kind of becoming. This creed belongs to anyone who has ever stood in front of a mirror and felt like a stranger…and is finally ready to return. YOU WORTH IT.
