About this listen

World-renowned adventurer and broadcaster, Bear Grylls, presents some of the most incredible near-death experiences, told by those who lived to tell the tale. These extraordinary and diverse accounts of human bravery, mental and physical strength - and sometimes sheer luck - range from being stranded for more than 50 days at sea, to surviving world-changing acts of terrorism.

Bear contextualises each feat of endurance or bravery by relating them to his own experiences of near-misses and misfortune from his military career and survivalist adventures. Listeners will experience the firsthand retelling of acts of quick thinking and gruelling struggles of those who found themselves in some of the most extreme circumstances imaginable.

Good Podcast but poor functionality

It’s a shame podcasts can’t be played in the car as it’s dangerous to manually skip to the next chapter every 5 minutes. I’m sure Audible are doing this deliberately to underline that thus is ‘free’ & therefore not as good as the premium product. As they have done nothing but fob me off, I guess I’ll never know. The podcast is good though.

Absolutely fantastic

This is a very thrilling and interesting listen that gives a fantastic insight into the mind set that people have to go into to survive and they show that anyone can do anything if they put there mind to it.

Survival Stories

These true stories were well presented and told in a gripping way, definitely captured my attention.
My favourites were the hippo attack, the escape from the Twin Towers and the shark attack.
The majority of the people involved all seemed to have one thing in common and that was their calmness and logical thinking in a very bad situation, which is something to remember if I’m ever in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Great mix of survival stories

Great mix of stories - pitty there isn’t much back and forth, have a feeling beat is hardly involved with it, which is a shame - though I could be wrong.

Wish amazon would sort out the way these play, doesn’t seem to auto move onto the next one or auto delete ones I have heard..... re started a few of them on realising I had already heard them .... but that’s more on amazon then the show :)

Struggling to get through this Audible

I love the book but find the narration difficult to stick with. I would love Abby Craden to narrate this.
