Foundation of the Mind: How Concrete Saved My Soul

By Michael Powell Jr

“They told me I’d break — I became the mold.”

From the streets to the slabs, this is the true story of how a broken mind was rebuilt like a foundation.

In Foundation of the Mind: How Concrete Saved My Soul, Michael Powell Jr. takes you on a raw, reflective journey through trauma, incarceration, addiction, and healing. Told through the lens of a concrete worker who found purpose in the same labor that once wore him down, this memoir is part blueprint, part battle cry — a book for anyone who's ever been told they wouldn't make it.

Michael doesn’t just tell you about pain — he shows you how to build through it. With metaphors pulled straight from the job site, every chapter lays a mental brick: from "rebar" belief systems to "demolition" of toxic thoughts, from “curing time” to emotional resilience.

Whether you're a survivor of the system, a seeker of truth, or just tired of surface-level healing, this book meets you where you are — and helps you pour something new.

📘 What You’ll Find Inside:

✔️ Real stories of survival, self-destruction, and soul-searching
✔️ Mental health insights woven into construction metaphors
✔️ Guided journal prompts to rebuild your own foundation
✔️ A voice for the misunderstood, the misjudged, and the mission-driven

🔥 Perfect for:

👊🏾 More than a book — it’s a rebuild.
