Half a House,
Full Power

A book about rebuilding what matters — permanently.

Shane Schreck

What happens when the life you built gets cut in half. How you lose the house, the marriage, the version of yourself you spent years constructing — and how, if you approach it with the right architecture, you rebuild with more structural integrity than you started with.

About the Book

"This isn't a recovery book. It's an architecture manual for people who refuse to let disruption be the final word."

Most books about divorce, loss, or life disruption treat the aftermath as a wound to heal. This one treats it as a construction problem. The structure failed. Now you build a better one.

Half a House, Full Power is a 17-chapter institutional framework for fathers, founders, and veterans navigating the hardest season of their lives — and coming out of it with a system that holds.

It is not about mindset. It is not about motivation. It is about the architecture of a life that doesn't collapse when pressure arrives.

The moment it all started was three words:
"I've got you."

Said to a son in his first seconds of life — his hand gripped around one finger, and everything that followed was built to make sure those words stayed true. Not just emotionally. Structurally. That moment is the origin of The Schreck Method. It is also the spine of this book.

This Book Is For

Fathers Under Pressure

Navigating custody, identity collapse, and the structural reality of being a parent with half the time and all the responsibility.

Founders in Disruption

When personal life destabilizes professional infrastructure — and the only path forward is rebuilding both simultaneously.

Veterans Rebuilding Civilian Life

Who understand systems, structure, and the weight of a mission — and need a framework equal to that standard.

Anyone Who Lost the Version of Themselves They Built

And refuses to let that be the end of the story.

For the Industry

Half a House, Full Power is a complete manuscript currently under consideration by literary agents. It occupies a category between Michael Lewis and Matthew Crawford — systems thinking applied to personal and institutional recovery. The author maintains an existing audience through The Schreck Method platform, a 200-volume institutional library, and a coaching infrastructure serving founders and veterans. Inquiries welcome.
