About this audiobook

“Bear Grylls is a veritable superhero….The former UK Special Forces paratrooper has braved the world’s harshest environments.”
—Hampton Sides, Outside Magazine

“Bear Grylls is one tough, crazy dude.”
Washington Post

Already a #1 London Sunday Times Bestseller, Mud, Sweat, and Tears is the adrenaline-fueled autobiography of the mega-popular star of the hit survival series Man Vs. Wild, adventurer Bear Grylls. A former British Special Forces commando, a man who has always sought the ultimate in dangerous challenges, Bear’s true story reads like an outdoors action and adventure novel. But Bear’s story is true—full of breathtaking escapes and remarkable exploits that would make any Jack London or H. Ryder Haggard hero proud.

    Incredible book!! My 7 yr old scout LOVED listening to it. Warning to parents: there are a few swear words and a couple romantic scenes. But they are very minimal.

    This book is one of the best books, I have read.
    It has several humorous elements, and at the same time it gives you the gift to learn about how to cope with a challenge of life.

    Autobiography of survival expert Bear Grylls, star of Man vs. Wild and otherr TV shows. He discusses his grueling training for the SAS, his recovery from a parachute malfuncttion in Africa, and his career as a survival expert and TV personality. Excellent discussion of his philosophy. Great book for fans.

    This book is amazing. I picked it up from the library because I assumed that an autobiography of Bear would be pretty easy holiday reading. 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. I was amazed at the physicality of the things that Bear has done, but I was also shocked by how self-reflective and well spoken Bear Grylls is. This book is not a piece of high literary style, but it's honest and gripping. You can hear Bear's personality through it and despite the fact that everything in the book could bring someone down or be a place to complain about conditions, Bear's enthusiasm and sheer force of happiness shows through. It made me want to go out and train for the SAS and climb Everest even though I'm not a particularly outdoorsy person. He made the trials in his life seem...rather nonchalant and focused on the experiences of all of them instead of the pain of breaking his back, or the hardship that the SAS makes recruits endure. A really amazing book from a really amazing person. Go Bear!

    A book very much in Bear's "voice" anyone who has watched Man V Wild will recognise it. A great book for boys and adventurous girls or anyone needing a bit of inspiration. The language is clear and straight forward totally suitable for kids 10 . The message of "try as hard as you can and dont let anyone tell you you can not do anything" is a good one for everyone. Covers mostly Bear's early life with only the last part of the book mentioning the television shows he is most well known for.

    I do not usually like biographies. Having never watched a Bear Grylls television show etc., I can now say I have read one of his books. And enjoyed it.

    From childhood to TV series when in a tight circumstance he kept pushing himself beyond total exhaustion and acknowledges the need for others.
