Changer d'altitude
Pris dans les turbulences de la vie, nous cherchons tous notre chemin vers la réussite, l’équilibre, le bonheur, la sagesse. Mais développons-nous les bons outils pour y parvenir ? Bertrand Piccard combine son expérience d’explorateur et de médecinpsychiatre, spécialisé en hypnose, pour nous proposer des solutions originales, déconcertantes parfois, à mettre en pratique. Dans ce livre accessible à tous, il prend le parti de la curiosité et de la remise en question pour aborder sous un angle concret des thèmes comme la peur de l’inconnu, les crises de l’existence, les relations humaines, la spiritualité. Comment utiliser les doutes et les points d’interrogation pour stimuler notre performance, découvrir les bienfaits de l’hypnose, tirer profit des épreuves et dépasser la souffrance, élargir notre compréhension de l’existence ? Faisant confiance à la faculté d’évolution de son lecteur, l’auteur chemine à ses côtés sur le sentier du « mieux-être ». Avec soi, avec les autres, avec le monde. Et délivre quelques clés pour démontrer que l’on peut faire autrement dans sa vie, y compris dans le secret de nos consciences, au plus profond de nos âmes.

March 13, 2017It is a book which offers a global approach from different perspectives: Mr Piccard brings in his experience as an explorer with his solar plane, his first manned flight around the world, adds his experiences as a psychologist and also broaches borderline experiences as a hypnotist , apart from his mindful reflectiuons about religion and spirituality.
Piccard himself says: '... the subject is life, communication, autohypnosis, crisis management, and spirituality, all from the angle of the different altitudes and visions of the world that give you more freedom to think and act. He finishes by saying that he enjoyed writing this book.
This is definitely the impression I had after finishing reading this book. Hat off. It is a thorough success and an absolute must for those people who are willing to progress in their life and who are keen to interact with their Team members, work colleagues and their life patrners.

It is a book whose reading calms down because it rests on a fundamental principle: to let go in front of any difficulties, not to try to go against adversity but to go in the same direction so you do not waste your energy.
The letting go makes it possible to distance itself from a situation and to apprehend it by changing angle of view, effective tool to be released and to be more lucid.
Beyond the philosophical message, the path of the scientist and ecologist is exciting. His work ends with the principle of "ecohumanity": beautiful neologism, in which I find myself totally, a humanistic and responsible ecologist.
A reading that makes you feel good and does good to the intellect and the soul that I warmly recommend.
A book that I keep precisely because there is no doubt that it will go a long way with me. And if my modest ticket can help some of you ...

Ich fand das Buch sehr spannend und inspirierend!
Botschaft: Folge den Strom des Lebens, sei offen für neues, gehe Risiken ein und beschreite Abenteuer. Lebe!
Die erste hälfte oder 2/3 habe ich verschlungen. Dann stockte es, für mich ein wenig unnötig in die Länge gezogen.

A thorough book on the power of our psyche: How to revell in the acceptance of the uncontrollable, how to unravel the hidden resources of our minds, how to work with grief and why the doctrin of science can and should be regarded as coexisting with the spiritual world.
Absolutely fascinating and deeply personal.
For me this book came to exactly the right point in my life, with just the right perspective... Truely enlighting.

4,5⭐️. Seul point négatif? Version électronique n'a pas de numéro de page. Livre inspirant. Le contenu m'a aidé avec certaines situations difficiles. J'ai surligné beaucoup de passages. Maintenant, je vais m'efforcer d'aller dans le sens du vent (sans partir à la dérive) au lieu de me battre contre lui. 😄🌞

The winds and hot balloons as metaphor of the changes we all encounter in our lifetime. The high and the low and the way to fly thru the wind of change!

Un concept que j’ai retenu: 1 + 1 n’égale pas toujours 2. À vous de découvrir!

Ce livre est une réflexion innovante, humaine et brilliante sur une large palette de sujet allant de la psychologie du risque à l'hypnose, en passant par le sens de la vie et la le questionnement de la différence entre spiritualité et religion. Ce livre m'as amené beaucoup, que ce soit une envie d'aller plus loin sur certains, des remises en questions sur d'autres, et encore des éclaircissements nombreux. Je le recommande grandement à tout le monde, chacun y trouvera quelque chose d'intéressant

J'ai réellement apprécié les thèmes abordés par Bertrand Picard et surtout sa façon de rendre tangible ces idées à travers de nombreux exemples concrets. J'apprécie également qu'il n'oblige pas le lecteur à être d'accord avec lui, mais qu'il partage sa propre expérience et les leçons qu'il en a tiré.
Je conseil donc la lecture de ce livre avec plaisir, il est à lire dans un environnement calme qui je pense permet de mieux s'imprégner et s'interroger avec l'auteur des idées qu'il développe.
Bonne lecture
