Recent research shows watching Bradley Wiggins and other Gold Medal winners can help you reach your goals too – even if they're not related to sport.

I've just read Professor Richard Wiseman's article on turning the 'think positive' mantra on its head. The main idea of this (and his new book I believe) is to change your actions first, not your thoughts and feelings – i.e. 'fake it til you make it' as one of the comments on the article puts it.
