Imagine Better: Your Life Is a Story Hardcover – March 4, 2026

Imagine Better: Your Life Is a StoryWhat if the life you are living is not broken… just misaligned?In Imagine Better: Your Life Is a Story, Mark Powers invites readers into a raw and unfiltered journey through identity loss, divorce, fatherhood, addiction, ambition, leadership, and personal reinvention. This is not a highlight reel. It is an honest account of what happens when success on the outside cannot quiet the unrest within.After years of chasing achievement, approval, and financial growth, Mark was forced to confront a harder truth: growth is not built through performance. It is built through ownership.Through deeply personal storytelling, reflections from hosting the Imagine Better podcast, the building of Michigan CMO, and the creation of the Belowdeck leadership philosophy and The Marketing Engine Room™, this book explores what sustainable transformation actually requires. Not tactics. Not reinvention. Not escape. But clarity. Discipline. Alignment.Woven throughout the pages are themes of unresolved identity, the impact of childhood abandonment, the pressure of providing as a father, the strength of Carol’s belief during seasons of change, and the quiet decision to return to light when darkness felt easier.This is not a book about dramatic exits.It is a book about staying.Staying present.Staying honest.Staying accountable.Imagine Better is for leaders, entrepreneurs, parents, and anyone who senses that something deeper is calling them forward. It offers permission to pause, confront what is misaligned, and rebuild intentionally from the inside out.Because imagining better is easy.Living better is the work.And your story is not finished.
