Dawn breaks in the Egyptian desert. A majestic silver object glistens in the sky above this ancient land of humankind's earliest technological accomplishment, and gently floats to earth. It's a day destined to make history. Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones in the Breitling Orbiter 3 have just fulfilled a hundred year old challenge to be first to circumnavigate the globe in a balloon. Yet, for Piccard, this is more than just a personal triumph. It's a legacy for the Piccard family, who for three generations have ventured higher, deeper and farther than their contemporaries. The name Piccard is virtually synonymous with adventure and discovery.
The story begins on January 28, , with the birth of twin brothers, Auguste and Jean-Felix Piccard, in Bassel, Switzerland. Both were intensely interested in science. Auguste became a physicist and one of Europe's foremost authorities on cosmic rays. Jean pursued a career in organic chemistry and aeronautical engineering.

My new book - " Réaliste - soyons logiques autant qu’écologiques "
My new book, "Réaliste", comes out today (in french only at the moment) published by Éditions Stock.

Caught up in the turmoil of life, we are all seeking a pathway to success, equilibrium, happiness, wisdom. But are we developing the right tools to achieve these? Bertrand Piccard combines his experience as an explorer and psychiatrist specializing in hypnosis to offer us some original, sometimes disconcerting, solutions for practical use. In this book, which is accessible to everyone, he adopts a curious and questioning approach to tackle themes such as fear of the unknown, existential crises, human relations and spirituality in a concrete way. How can we use doubt and a questioning mindset to stimulate our performance, discover the benefits of hypnosis, take advantage of ordeals, overcome suffering, and expand our understanding of existence?
« During the Solar Impulse project, I was very involved in all the action”, explained Bertrand Piccard. «I felt the need to get back into thinking-mode. I've always wanted to understand how human beings work, what makes them happy or unhappy, what makes them succeed or fail in their dreams. The most dif
