Bronze better than silver (psychologically of course)

A classic study of how happy medal winners were with their different coloured medals. It compared bronze winners with silver and found that the former were generally happier than the latter. This is because the silver winners tended to compare themselves with the winner and the bronze with the rest of the pack. And the noddy moral in this article is? Be happy with your lot. The question is, how much control do we actually have over our thoughts?
