Description
The extraordinary new autobiography from adventurer Bear Grylls. The sequel to the multi-million copy selling global phenomenon Mud, Sweat and Tears.
'Grylls takes you behind the scenes on his most thrilling adventures. Riveting.' - Daily Mail
'A rocket-fuelled adventure.' - Tim Peake
'His passion for adventure is truly infectious.' - Gareth Southgate
Bear Grylls has always sought out adventure. From childhood escapades to world-record-breaking expeditions, to his infamous survival challenges, Bear has spent a lifetime in the wild.
In his autobiography, the global adventurer, Chief Scout and TV presenter reflects on the extraordinary adventures that have shaped his life. Sharing personal stories from his toughest expeditions and capturing the exhilarating reality behind some of the hairiest survival missions, Bear takes readers up mountains and across oceans, through jungles and deserts. Immersing us in the behind-the-scenes action on his celebrated television shows, and with rare insight into his family life, Bear recounts his most death-defying and life-defining moments.
Packed with deeply personal and wildly entertaining tales, Never Give Up is a testament to the value of adventure. It celebrates the power of the wild and what it can teach us, and highlights the importance of courage, kindness and a resilient attitude β a 'never give up spirit' β to navigate the great adventure of life.
'Bear is someone who truly grabs life with both hands.' - Jonny Wilkinson
'So many positive messages wrapped up in Bear's many incredible adventures.' - Roger Federer

BEAR GRYLLS spent three years as a Trooper with 21 SAS Regiment, before breaking his back in a free-fall parachuting accident in Africa. Grylls recovered and went on to become one of the youngest climbers ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest. He first hosted the hit Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, which became one of the most-watched shows on the planet, reaching an estimated 1.2 billion viewers.
