New York, New York-- A psychologist with deep expertise in occupational identity and career transition is releasing a four-book series designed to do what no other career book has done: give working-class Americans a straight, jargon-free map through the most disruptive economic shift of their lifetimes.

FIRED BY THE FUTURE: A Four-Book Survival Series for the New American Worker launches on June 22nd with Book One, You Just Lost Your Job. You Are Not Broken., followed by three additional volumes releasing over the coming weeks. All four books are immediately available in EPUB, paperback, and audiobook on Amazon, and in EPUB and paperback through Draft2Digital distribution platforms, which place them in thousands of additional booksellers worldwide.

THE CRISIS NO ONE IS WRITING FOR

Between 15 and 25 percent of all jobs in the United States are projected to face significant disruption by 2027, with entry-level and working-class roles bearing the heaviest impact. In 2025 alone, over 1.17 million Americans lost their jobs, with nearly 55,000 cuts directly attributed to artificial intelligence and automation. Data entry positions, administrative roles, customer service jobs, and mid-level office work are disappearing at a pace faster than any government training program has addressed.

Most books addressing this topic are written for people with graduate degrees, corporate networks, and savings accounts. They are filled with professional language, expensive recommendations, and assumptions about access to resources that ordinary Americans simply do not have. That gap is precisely what FIRED BY THE FUTURE was built to fill.

"The workers who need this most have been the least served by the publishing industry," said the author. "This series treats them the way a tough, honest friend would. No therapy-speak. No false cheerfulness. Real information about the real job market, in plain language, starting where they actually are."

WRITTEN BY A PSYCHOLOGIST. BUILT FOR REAL WORKERS.

Each book in the series is grounded in a distinct, evidence-based psychological framework applied to working-class realities:

•Book One draws on the documented Stages of Job Loss Grief to help readers understand and move through the psychological crisis of sudden unemployment without shame or self-blame.

•Book Two uses Albert Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory to rebuild confidence after job loss and identify the human skills that AI and automation genuinely cannot replace, with specific job titles and realistic wages.

•Book Three applies Cognitive Reframing to dismantle the cultural myth that blue-collar trades are a lesser path, while providing concrete, step-by-step entry into skilled trades that are experiencing acute worker shortages and cannot be automated.

•Book Four uses Julian Rotter's Locus of Control psychology to shift readers from feeling at the mercy of the economy to building multiple income streams that no single employer can take away.

Crucially, no college diploma is required or assumed. The series is written for adults at every education level, with research showing that the fastest-growing careers in healthcare, skilled trades, renewable energy, and cybersecurity increasingly reward certification, apprenticeship, and hands-on training over four-year degrees.

THE FOUR-BOOK SERIES

Book One: You Just Lost Your Job. You Are Not Broken. (June 22nd)

Covers the identity crisis at the core of job loss, the neuroscience of the threat response, a practical 30-day survival checklist, and the first steps toward rebuilding direction. Available immediately.

Book Two: The Skills That Cannot Be Fired. (releasing weeks after Book One)

Identifies specific human skills that AI cannot replicate, provides a full Skills Audit, and maps out low-cost learning paths to new certifiable abilities without a return to a four-year college.

Book Three: The Trades Are Hiring. Are You Ready? (releasing weeks after Book Two)

A no-nonsense breakdown of six high-demand skilled trades, including electrician, plumber, HVAC technician, welder, solar installer, and carpenter, with wage data, entry pathways, apprenticeship guidance, and honest information about starting a trade career after 30 or 40.

Book Four: Your Second Act. (releasing weeks after Book Three)

A plain-English blueprint for building two or three income streams so that no single employer can ever hold someone's financial security hostage again, covering side income, small business basics, and the psychology of money after economic trauma.

WHERE THE JOBS ARE GOING. WHAT THE DATA SAYS.

The series is built on current labor market research, not speculation. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, solar photovoltaic installer positions are projected to grow by 22 percent and wind turbine technician positions by 44 percent through 2032. Cybersecurity roles are projected to grow 32 percent. Healthcare support positions are expanding at 18 percent. Skilled trades face a national shortage with no automation solution in sight.

None of these growth careers requires a four-year degree. All of them are accessible through the pathways this series maps out in specific, actionable detail.

WRITTEN FOR TWO READERS

The primary reader is a working adult between 30 and 55 who has lost a job in manufacturing, logistics, retail management, data entry, customer service, trucking, construction, or mid-level office work, and needs honest guidance written in language that respects their intelligence without assuming their resources.

The secondary reader is the partner, parent, or friend who wants to understand what the person they love is going through, and who may be the one to put the book in their hands. Research shows that women left the workforce at alarming rates in late 2025, and many of the men who need this series most will not seek it out themselves. The series is built for both.
