The Will to Win

The will to win is an instinct that has kept the human species alive for millions of years. This program explains why victory feels so good and why defeat is a losing proposition. Topics under consideration include the genetic basis for the euphoria known as a "winner’s high," the different strategies of younger and older siblings to attract parental attention, social hierarchies and the physical and behavioral signals that influence one’s place in them, the ability to experience victory vicariously, the lessons of losing, and the potential consequences of being considered a loser. A BBCW Production. (50 minutes)
