Life in the outdoors teaches us invaluable lessons. Encountering the wild forces us to plan and execute goals, face danger, push our “limits,” and sharpen our instincts.

Filled with exclusive, never-before-told tales from Bear’s globe-trekking expeditions, A Survival Guide for Life teaches every reader—no matter your age or experience—that we’re all capable of living life more boldly, of achieving our most daring dreams, and of having more fun along the way. Here’s to your own great adventure!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I always enjoyed the "Man v. Wild" series so looked forward to this book by Bear on how to tackle life's challenges that we all face. Bear has a lot to offer here and much of it as can be expected relates to attitude the big difference maker. The book is set up with short subject phrases and would not be a bad way to follow one each day.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is made up of small chapters (lessons) a couple of pages long each. Good for reading a couple of them at a time.My main complaint is that the second half is not as good as the first, it doesn't have as many brilliant quotes or anecdotes and therefore feels way more rushed. Also the "lessons" are very similar to those found on the first half.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5it is a great story and it gave us a a message that in life nothing is impossible be positive and accomplish your goal
