Summary
Details

Chasing the Dragon is an unflinching exploration of mental health struggles, addiction, and the relentless pursuit of autonomy in a world that demands conformity. It exposes the harsh realities of trauma, survival, and the desperate need to break free from societal expectations.

This book dissects the ways people cope-through substance use, adrenaline highs, intellectual pursuits, or sheer defiance. The protagonist refuses to be a victim of circumstance, pushing boundaries, challenging authority, and seeking clarity in a chaotic world. From childhood battles to navigating addiction, from corporate manipulation to military discipline, Chasing the Dragon lays bare the silent wars fought behind closed doors.

This is not just a story of struggle; it is a living proof to resilience, self-awareness, and the fight for control. It rejects the idea that success is defined by society and forces the reader to confront uncomfortable truths. Whether escaping through drugs, adrenaline, or rebellion, this book proves that survival is a choice and that breaking free requires not just willpower, but the courage to face oneself without illusion.
