Bear Grylls
About this listen
Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan. On returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident, Bear broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. However, only eighteen months later Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest, aged only 23. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures . . .Known and admired by millions, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life.
Gripping, moving and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat and Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies and armchair adventurers alike. Narrated by Tom Patrick Stephens, who Bear approved himself (since he was off adventuring!)

The book covers mostly his time spent training for the SAS and his epic climb of mount everest, which are both well written and make you respect Grylls not only as an expert survivalist but also as a solid bloke.
So if you like a good solid background story but don't mind the aspects of religion that crop up a fair bit - i say go for it.

The story provides a foundation in showing how he got to where he is today. I have to say that his life experiences are somewhat created from not only coming from a middle/upper class background, but also numerous fortunes of seriously good luck. Having said that, you cannot take away Bear’s enthusiasm, drive and energy.
The autobiography really inspired me to go out and really try and fight for what you want in life. I
I think I’d like to have a beer with him one day and share life experiences in work, play and family.
The book is inspirational, but I’m still not really sure how I feel about it.
