About this listen

Whatever has happened to you, it is not who you are.

The world may know Chris Duffin as the "mad scientist of strength", but you wouldn't have ever guessed that if you saw the scrawny kid skinning rattlesnakes and chasing dragonflies in the early '80s. The story of his unconventional life will take you from gripping tales of murder, trauma, heartbreak, and survival deep in the Pacific Northwest wilderness all the way to an idealization of the self-made man - still flawed, but never broken.

In The Eagle and the Dragon, you'll follow one man's journey into the darkness of his own heart and witness the transformation of alcoholism, pain, and defeat into vision, character, and victory. Through Chris's powerful self-realization, you'll see how the human spirit can be either shackled by circumstance or freed from it.

Are you ready to walk through the fire and make your vision a reality? This audiobook will show you how.

Was not expecting to get so much out of this book it really lifted my mentality.

Inspiring and Insightful

The eagle and the dragon are such powerful metaphors that Chris has created and lived out - he has generously shared his story, one complete with themes and lessons that the rest of us, even if we don’t share complete circumstances, are able to learn from.
As a strength athlete, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Chris’ passion for lifting - there isn’t much well-written literature, particularly in a biographical fashion, of this nature - any fellow lifters will relate to the appeal to the iron he speaks of.

Empowering read

I came away from this inspired, and motivated to effect change. Chris is such an interesting character to begin. This coupled with his fast paced style and the purposeful text makes it well worth the time. Who knows where it will lead you.
