I chose to read this book because I am a big fan of Bear Grylls's show Man vs Wild and I thought it would be very interesting to read this book. Plenty of stories which add color to Bear and what made him who he is today. It turns out that not only he a tough guy in mind and body, but he also has a sensitive side and a heart. I really enjoy his TV programmes and I warmed to Bear the person who is portrayed in this book. Upon his return to England after a change of heart, he passed SAS selection and served with 21 SAS for three years.
I was right, in so far as I whipped through this book in three days of reading on planes and before bed, but it's not a particularly light and fluffy book. No, but he says by speaking about those who make what he is doing: "It takes strong, tough and resilient men to go through it". Finished it yesterday.

I picked it up from the library because I assumed that an autobiography of Bear would be pretty easy holiday reading. Really fantastic book and a very enjoyable read! Hard to put down and very inspiring.An enjoyable memoir. But since he is one of them and he went through it all, doesn’t it mean that he believes that he has the same qualities? He doesn’t say: "I am strong, enduring and tenacious".

“Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.” I loved the early parts in this book about Bear's great-grandfather, a writer who--along with Kipling--pretty much defined what is it to be a gentleman, a man. I was excited to read a thick book. The author constantly tells about his identity and adds some lessons he got from each event at the end of every chapters. I watched 'Bear’ being interviewed on television and it became very apparent that he was an inspirational person with a great 'moral compass'. Published
My only criticism is that he spends a little too much time on the details of his SAS training and Everest adventure--don't get me wrong, they are both riveting and amazing stories but it got a little repetitive after a while.This is my second book by Bear Grylls. The book is so positive and such an inspiration as to anyone who has a dream that hard work is the only way to approach it. Off screen, Bear has lead record-breaking expeditions, from Antarctica to the Arctic, which in turn have raised over £2.5million for children around the world. I learned so much through reading this book. This book is amazing. What a thrill to read! I wish he gave more details on his SAS qualification butAt first, it came across as being poorly written technically.
Great read Mr Grylls , cheers Definitely recommended. Chase's patience with Pamela's absurd demands as if they were still together runs out. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2012 Finished it yesterday. Plus, we do it all for a worthy cause. Thus, I was fed up with it and I decided to take a break.In this memoir Bear tells the story of his life and death-defying adventures.

Didn't expect it to be so thick, but I was glad it was! His writing style is both engaging and pacey. he has lead a very interesting life and I would love to go to some of the places he has been. I rarely leave reviews, but I feel I must for one of my favorite books of all time.I rarely leave reviews, but I feel I must for one of my favorite books of all time.Wow. Wow.All I can say is wow! I knew that he had joined the SAS before I read this book but I did not know that he was an old-Etonian, the son, grandson, grand stepson, and great-grandson of MPs. Inspirational.
During this time, he broke his back in several places in a free-fall parachuting accident and it was questionable whether he would ever walk again. Knowing Bear Grylls from us all watching him on TV as a family probably helps. I listened to it on Audible actually, which was a really good performance. I bought this for my son, for a non-fiction reading challenge at school. I suspect Bear is the down to earth guy - but this book is about 'building the BG brand'. I couldn't resist. Didn't expect it to be so thick, but I was glad it was!
