Blue Lizard Effect

"Blue Lizard Effect" is a new documentary series about Aruba, starring Jason Silva, and will be airing on the Travel Channel on Saturday, April 20th.

 Jason wants to understand why this remote Caribbean island is so happy and what the abstract concept of "happiness" truly entails. To do this, he travels around the island to gain a deeper understanding of what really makes Arubans so happy and how these factors influence how they interact with each other and with nature.

 

 

While exploring the island and interacting with locals, Jason learns what happiness means to them and how each individual applies their knowledge and life lessons to live a fulfilling and happy life.  As he does this he himself begins to undergo a profound personal transformation.

Episode summaries

Episode 1 - Water

Jason wants to delve into the present and understand what it means to live on an island like Aruba for its inhabitants. What does it mean to be an islander, what is it like to live surrounded by water, and how has this influenced their culture, life, and creation? In this episode, he meets three inspiring characters connected to this element.

Episode 2 - Earth

Jason achieved fame and recognition but also began to experience panic, stress, and anxiety because of it. He quickly realized that happiness does not come from fame and fortune. So, in this episode, he tries to understand the very abstract concept of happiness. Jason starts to delve into the past to understand the historical and mystical origins of the island.

Episode 3 - Air

Aruba is shaped by the force of the winds and waves that carve its coastlines. The salty air is infused into the DNA of the island and its people. Jason seeks to understand the importance of the element of air in the idiosyncrasy of the island and in constructing its concept of happiness.

Episode 4 - Fire

The power of fire is transformation, purification, movement, and future. Aruba, from its most primitive origins, has always been an island in constant metamorphosis. In this final chapter, Jason unveils what the Blue Lizard Effect is and how it is experienced in Aruba.
