Bear Grylls, born in 1974, is a mountaineer, international speaker, author, and a former Special Forces soldier of the British Army. Being one of the most inspirational people that walk this earth, Bear's popularity has become well known from the stories he tells. Some might call him crazy, after breaking his back in three places from a terrible parachuting accident during an army training excersize over Africa. Others envy him as it did not stop him climbing Mount Everest and setting world records. Whichever side of the fence you are on, he is passionate about adventures and accomplishments. If you watch his show on the Discovery Channel you will understand. Being a best selling author after writing Facing Up which is a documentary of him reaching the summit of Mount Everest and returning safely, I highly recommend picking up one of his books. I have found his books to be some of the most uplifting and motivational reads I have come across. My personal favorite is Facing The Frozen Ocean. A documentary of his survival as he crosses the Atlantic Ocean, riding an inflatable boat, in the middle of winter! The story is truley amazing. An adventure that started off very well planned turned into him basically fighting to survive. Atlantic's finest threw a storm at him we only see in the movies.
