Bear Grylls discussed writing his new autobiography, saying it took five years to write, that he was proud of it and that the paperback was released on 9 June.
Never give up. It's the name of your latest book.
Never give up the name of your recent book this book I got the sense that it was slightly more special than previous books to you and that it had taken five years to write this book that you wrote it all yourself
I wrote an autobiography called mud sweat and tears originally but the truth is you know that and that book did well you know it did 20 weeks at number one and I always kind of felt that I'm not going to beat that I'm not going to do another but we're done but that book really ended as TV started and so many of the questions that I get asked by my kids and by people in the street always like the behind the scenes what was it like on this what was it like taking that person or what about the struggles there or whatever and in a way they're the stories that I wanted my boys to understand you know and I think my kids have kind of grown up and seen the good sight seen the things that have worked but aren't always aware of the many failures behind those successes and I wanted to be able to share all of that and share the things that actually made the difference and I wanted to write it myself and you know be honest in it and so it took a long time to write but I'm really proud of it and I think it was always going to be called never give up
I'm proud to call it Never Give Up
you're someone that's recommend everybody reads the paperback is out on the 9th of June but it's really you can tell you've written it you can tell that it's come from a place of real authenticity and someone who is is willing to tell you the truth and we need a lot more of that
