The autobiography of the star of the television series "Man Wild" and "The Worst Case Scenario." Born and raised on an island off the south coast of England, Bear Grylls learned to climb and sail as a child. Shortly after, he discovered his calling for mountaineering and martial arts and even traveled to the Himalayas. Back in the UK, he dedicated himself to a grueling military career, during which he suffered a parachuting accident that nearly paralyzed him forever. However, just 18 months after the incident, Grylls defied all doctors' expectations and became one of the youngest people to climb Everest, at the age of 23. An adrenaline junkie, Bear shares these and many other exciting adventures from his resume full of extreme feats. "Mud, Sweat, and Tears" is a breathtaking read.
