Dr. Bertrand Piccard Biography

Dr. Bertrand Piccard has become a sought-after lecturer since his round-the-world balloon journey. Dr. Piccard inspires audiences to achieve new heights in this inspirational talk. He uses his flights to develop his concept of life psychology, human communication, stress management, and existential crises management. He is aware that his audience is not there to prepare for a round-the-world balloon flight, but rather to draw inspiration from his experience for their personal and professional lives. Dr. Piccard also gives talks on medical subjects including hypnosis and self-hypnosis. Invitations to speak to management, workers, clients, members, and visitors have arrived from big corporations and local groups. As a result, he has made hundreds of public and private engagements across the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe since 1992. Bertrand Piccard discusses how balloon flying may signify the new connection between a human being, technology, and nature in his book Adventure, a State of Mind: a Metaphor for the Round-the-World Balloon Flight. The balloon, like man, is a prisoner of the winds that push it; yet, just as a balloon may change altitude to discover currents that will change its path, the human being can rise up mentally or spiritually to reassume responsibility for the direction of his existence. Bertrand Piccard, together with Brian Jones, was the first man to circle the world in a balloon, joining a long list of great aviators. Images and anecdotes that will take your breath away: Dr. Piccard uses photos from his historic trip to convert his Breitling Orbiter 3's journey into a metaphor for life's problems. Dr. Piccard, co-author of Around the World in 20 Days, speaks from the unusual perspective of a recognized psychiatrist and an experienced balloonist, combining his years of adventure with his understanding of human nature. Dr. Piccard won the European aerobatics champion and set a global altitude record at the age of 16 after becoming an experienced hang-glider pilot. In 1979, he flew his first hot-air balloon and in 1992, he won the Chrysler Transatlantic Challenge. He is the grandson of Auguste Piccard, the creator of the pressurized chamber and the Bathyscape submarine, which was piloted by Dr. Piccard's father, Jacques, to a world record depth of 10,916 meters below the ocean's surface. Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, the first hot air balloonists to circle the world, achieved history in March 1999. Their achievement has served as an example to those who aspire to attain their own goals.
