The world-famous adventurer reveals a lifetime of wisdom and lessons learned from the planet's wildest places
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.

A love of what you do is one of the highest forms of success you can ever have. If you do what you love, then you’ll never.
Get a whiff that they are dishonest. Because if I see someone being dishonest with others, then I suspect they will be dishonest with me. And life is too short to have to deal with cheats, as they can all too easily rob you of your hard-earned success.
