“Chris is a great storyteller and I was hooked from the intro as he related his earliest childhood memories of stargazing with his friend and wondered how far away the distant galaxies were? It was a simple analogy to a seeker's life that has led him to achieve great goals despite his current circumstances. I couldn’t put the book down. As a consumer of his coaching and equipment, I knew he was a talented person. His podcasts and videos are captivating. But he can also write and tell a good story which is the quality of a unique special leader. If Mr. Duffin walked into the ancient Apollo sanctuary in Delphi at the top of Mount Parnassus, he certainly followed the first part of the phrase over the entrance: “Know Thyself” but he most definitely questioned the following statement: “Everything in Moderation.” Chris pushes us to reach beyond our comfort zone to achieve the very best for ourselves not in an overbearing way but through an educational method that inspires us to move forward. It’s a book you will want to share and give to those who you think could benefit from his great story.”

“An absolutely gripping story. I am amazed that a human being is capable of growing up in an environment as Chris did and not only surviving but flourishing. Being a powerlifter myself, I already had a great deal of respect for the man, but reading this book increased it tenfold. I can't remember the last time I finished a book so quickly. The way Chris relates his stories and experiences to life lessons is so captivating and inspiring. It truly makes me look inside myself and makes me want to challenge myself to get the most out of what really matters to me in life. I highly recommend this book!”

“I didn’t know Chris’ story I only knew of him through following his feats of strength. Now I am even more impressed by what he had been able to accomplish. He came from nothing and demonstrated a will and desire to not fall into the lifestyle from which he came but instead despite it leave a long-lasting legacy! If you are a business owner or into fitness this book is a must. The body can accomplish amazing feats but without a sound mind, you will be extremely limited in your potential. This story was about unlocking potential through the evolution of self. Incredible story by an incredible person. Must read”
