Born to Go
I’ve been practicing veterinary medicine for fifty-five years. I lecture at colleges, conservation centers, and international cruises about the intersection of evolution, history, and life.
Lectures
Charlie lectures at schools, colleges, ecology centers, and Viking Cruise ships around the world on evolutionary biology, wolves, bears, and more. His lectures last 1 hour and are always followed by a vibrant Q&A section.
My New Memoir
“An adventure the likes of which few have experienced”
From living with wolves to canoeing arctic waterways, Charlie Berger’s memoir takes the reader from his humble beginnings in the bowels of Brooklyn through veterinary school, and into adventures beyond his wildest dreams. Not content to stay in his veterinary office but loving veterinary medicine, Charlie’s outsized life and unique career took him around the globe to experience and treat animals, while encountering, working with and enjoying the company of characters along the way including hermits, Maasai warriors, Buddhist monks, Yupik, Huaorani tribesmen, as well as the homeless and cops of Berkeley.
Praise for “Born to Go”
“Charlie’s insight, intellect, humor and unique perspective create a wild ride that you never want to end!”

“Dr. Berger rose from the streets of Brooklyn, out of the shadows of World War Two, into an expansive world of Arctic nights and African heat.”
