About this ebook
An indispensable survival guide to some of life's toughest situations, from New York Times bestselling author Bear Grylls.
The world-famous survival expert and reality television star teaches you how to make everyday an unforgettable adventure
Life in the outdoors teaches us invaluable lessons. Encountering the wild forces us to plan and execute goals, face danger, push our “limits,” and sharpen our instincts. But our most important adventures don’t always happen in nature’s extremes. Living a purpose-driven, meaningful life can often be an even greater challenge. . . .
In A Survival Guide for Life, Bear Grylls, globally renowned adventurer and television host, shares the hard-earned wisdom he’s gained in the harshest environments on earth, from the summit of Mt. Everest to the boot camps of the British Special Forces.
Filled with exclusive, never-before-told tales from Bear’s globe-trekking expeditions, A Survival Guide for Life teaches every reader—no matter your age or experience—that we’re all capable of living life more boldly, of achieving our most daring dreams, and of having more fun along the way. Here’s to your own great adventure!
Editor's Note
Embrace adventure…
Be ready for any extreme life circumstances with this compilation of hard-earned wisdom by outdoor enthusiast and adrenaline junkie Bear Grylls, the Man who’s defeated Wild time and time again.
Bear Grylls
Bear Grylls was brought up on the Isle of Wight, where his late father taught him to climb and sail. A martial arts expert, Bear went on to spend three years as a soldier in the British Air Service (21 SAS), before suffering a free fall parachuting accident in Africa that left his back broken in three places. Despite this he went on to become the youngest Briton ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Now one of the youngest and most sought after motivational speakers, he relates his remarkable experiences to audiences and corporations all around the world. He has also presented several prime-time TV adventure series for Channel Four in the UK and Discovery Channel in America, notably Born Survivor, which was also a bestselling book. Bear lives with his wife Shara, and their sons Jesse and Marmaduke, on a Dutch barge in London and on a small remote Welsh island. His bestselling books Facing Up, about this record-breaking ascent of Everest, and Facing the Frozen Ocean, his inspirational story of leading a team across the treacherous North Atlantic, a feat for which he was awarded an Honorary commission in the Royal Navy, are both published by Pan Macmillan. He is also the author of several children's books, including the The Jungle Book: New Adventures series, a contemporary update of Rudyard Kipling's classic The Jungle Book.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I always enjoyed the "Man v. Wild" series so looked forward to this book by Bear on how to tackle life's challenges that we all face. Bear has a lot to offer here and much of it as can be expected relates to attitude the big difference maker. The book is set up with short subject phrases and would not be a bad way to follow one each day.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is made up of small chapters (lessons) a couple of pages long each. Good for reading a couple of them at a time.My main complaint is that the second half is not as good as the first, it doesn't have as many brilliant quotes or anecdotes and therefore feels way more rushed. Also the "lessons" are very similar to those found on the first half.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5it is a great story and it gave us a a message that in life nothing is impossible be positive and accomplish your goal
