Thinking about the recent summer Olympics, the medalists – the very best people in the world in their events – must be supremely happy, right? Maybe, but maybe not. Is it true that bronze medalists were visibly and measurably happier than the silver medalists who just surpassed them? How can that be?

Please tune in this week as Wayne discusses an article from Neil Pasricha’s blog based on a study from Scientific American. Pasricha’s conclusion: gratitude for what you do have and what you have accomplished is the key to happiness the bronze medalist way. What’s your experience? Do you beat yourself up over what might have been, or do you celebrate the daily small victories you experience in life? What’s your perspective? Please share with us in the comments.
