Through the eyes of dedicated scientists and enthusiasts, this series uncovers the extraordinary world of bugs, revealing their ingenious adaptations, strange behaviors, and why they truly “rule the world.” From essential pollinators like bees and butterflies to the unseen work of nature’s cleanup crews, insects are vital to life on Earth. Using macro cinematography, the series captures their vibrant colors, complex anatomy, and fascinating behaviors - from intricate mating dances to dramatic life cycles.

This captivating journey shows that while insects are all around us, we still have so much to learn about our tiny, powerful fellow Earthlings.

The Science Of Success

We used to think that success took talent, hard work and luck. Now scientists have discovered an extraordinary thing: success depends a lot less on ourselves, rather is a collective response to our performance. All those self-help books that tell you what to do are wrong because you have little to do with your own success. THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS reveals an exciting, new understanding of how society works, and offers insights into how to achieve success. These discoveries have profound implications for society as well — the outcome of elections, the products we buy, the choices we make — they are all determined by hidden principles. In the age of Big Data, where we can track achievements like a GPS tracks our movements, scientists have identified the drivers of success. And even more astoundingly, they are able to predict it.
