Growing up on a remote island off of Britain's windswept coast, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. Inevitably, it wasn't long before the young explorer was sneaking out to lead all-night climbing expeditions.As a teenager at Eton College, Bear found his identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts. These passions led him into the foothills of the mighty Himalayas and to a karate grandmaster's remote training camp in Japan, an experience that soon helped him earn a second-degree black belt. Returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously grueling selection course for the British Special Forces to join the elite Special Air Service unit 21 SAS—a journey that would push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance.Then, disaster. Bear broke his back in three places in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa. It was touch and go whether he would walk again, according to doctors.

But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures. . . .Known and admired by millions as the star of Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving, and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat, and Tears is a must-read for adrenaline junkies and armchair explorers alike.

But this also led to me discovering the truth about who I was, and what I wanted out of life. It took a life of Misadventure to discover the answers. 
  Ellis J Stewart has lived a life rich in many adventures, and he's only 48! Attempting to summit Mount Everest and getting caught in catastrophes not once but twice. Being employed as everything from a taxi driver to an Amazon delivery driver, through to a well-received public speaker at events from the local Scout group to international corporate clients. 
  He has also experienced the deepest reaches of depression and mental health issues, which he will honestly and freely talk about in a bid to help others in a similar situation.
