Why bronze can feel better than silver

Silver or bronze - which medal will make you happier?

Turns out, if you are gunning for joy (not glory), bronze beats silver.

Science says so. And I concur.

Silver = I could have won gold.
Bronze = Grateful I got a medal.

It’s all about mental framing.

Got me thinking: how often do we undervalue our wins because they aren’t perfect?

Ever caught yourself feeling ‘silver’ when you should’ve felt ‘bronze’?
