Publisher's summary

Admired by millions as the star of Man vs. Wild and the acclaimed NGC series Running Wild, global adventurer Bear Grylls has explored places few would dare to go. Now, he shares time-honored lessons for leading an adventurous life through stories drawn from his personal experiences, as well as encounters with a diverse group of celebrities who have participated in his wildly popular television shows.

In these inspiring chapters, Grylls chronicles his life since stepping onto the small screen, taking listeners on his most famous adventures, sharing stories from his favorite expeditions, and capturing his hairiest survival challenges. The follow-up to the internationally best-selling Mud, Sweat and Tears, this new autobiography goes behind the scenes on infamous Man vs. Wild shoots and provides an insight into what it's really like to "Run Wild" with guests including President Obama, Roger Federer, and Julia Roberts. Along the way, Bear explores the valuable lessons he's learned in the wild, opens up about his most personal challenges and achievements, and celebrates the true value of adventure and the enduring importance of courage, kindness, and resilience.

Written for outdoor enthusiasts and armchair adventurers alike, Never Give Up offers an inspiring path to help listeners live their best lives.

Great follow up.

After listening to mud, sweat, and tears. I had to finish Bear's journey. This book is more about his becoming in the TV spotlight.

Great story, but where is Bear??

Super disappointing that Bear didn't read it himself. The story was great, but not hearing it from him really made it a bit less exciting.

Great content but Bear should have narrated

Great content. Valueable reading and the information is priceless, but next book Bear should read himself.

I have always looked up to Bear.

I live in CA. So my introduction to this man was of course Man Vs Wild. Always looked up to how well spoken and how strong of a character Bear is. I bought Blood Sweat and Tears 2 times (hard copy and audible version) Truly inspiring. Every time I read or listen to these books, I literally just wanna quit my job and go on an adventure to strengthen myself and become a better human.

Bear knows how to relate to the common man

Really enjoyed this listen. Like Bear's other books, it was engaging and thought provoking. Bear opens himself up to the many struggles he faces - struggles that everybody face. It is still great to hear from this man, who has accomplished so much, that his journey has been a tough one and that there are still things to overcome. The narrator was excellent. It was like I was listening to Bear narrate his own book.

What an adventure!

I went back to back with his autobiographies. What a joy to here his story fully and all the details behind much of his fame. The honor he has towards his family is amazing!

Great Family Road Trip

We just finished "Never Give Up" during a road trip from Phoenix to Salt Lake City. It was super inspiring and entertaining to listen to with my 2 teenage daughters. We finished listening to it right as we pulled into our final destination so it was just perfect. Then my 16-year-old daughter said.."Can we please get the book as well? There were so many good things that I want to look up and read again." So for me that made it all the better.
