Before he conquered Everest, he had to survive himself.
From a windswept island childhood to the summit of the world, Bear Grylls has lived a life defined by grit, risk, and relentless determination. Trained by his father to sail and climb, he grew into a young man obsessed with adventure, one that took him from Japan’s martial arts camps to the brutal selection trials of Britain’s elite Special Air Service.
After a near-fatal parachuting accident left him with a broken back, Bear faced his greatest test: recovery. Eighteen months later, he stood on Everest.
Mud, Sweat, and Tears is the #1 international bestseller that tells the story of an adventurer, a survivor, and a man who refused to give up.
