Bear Grylls – Blood, Sweat, and Tears – Bear Grylls

Description

Bear Grylls’ new book, *Blood, Sweat, and Tears*, is the autobiography of one of the most popular people in the world. He rose to fame on the Discovery Channel show *Man vs. Wild*, which has been watched by over 1.5 billion viewers.

Even as a boy, Bear learned to swim and climb with his father’s help. Before long, at school, Bear was leading nighttime climbing expeditions into off-limits areas. As a teenager, Bear found his identity and calling through mountaineering and martial arts, which took him to the foothills of the mighty Himalayas and to a karate masters’ training camp in Japan. Upon returning home, Bear embarked on the grueling training required to apply for the British Special Forces, aiming to join the 21st Regiment. This long journey pushes him to the limits of his physical and mental endurance. Later, following a horrific parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his spine in three places. Doctors weren’t sure if he would ever walk again. Just eighteen months later, however, defying the doctors’ predictions, the 23-year-old Bear became one of the youngest people to climb Everest. And that was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures… Known and loved by millions-for his documentary series on adventures around the world, *Survival at the Limit*; as a popular author of survival books; or as Chief Scout of the English Scout Association – Bear Grylls has survived situations that few would dare to face. Bear is the author of eleven books, and as a former member of the British Special Forces, he has been appointed an honorary lieutenant in the Royal Navy. He continues to lead unique expeditions to the most remote and dangerous corners of the Earth, and these missions have raised over one and a half million British pounds for children’s charities. Bear recently became the youngest Chief Scout of the English Association of Scouts, making him the leader of 28 million Scouts worldwide. He lives with his wife, Shara, and their three sons-Jesse, Marmaduke, and Huckleberry-on a Dutch houseboat in London and on a small remote island off the coast of Wales.
