This one gets dark. Suicide expert Dr. Mark Goulston tells host Steve Hofstetter how he dropped out of medical school and still ended up finishing.

Dealing with suicide does not sound like an uplifting profession, but Dr. Goulston has a way of connecting with people on their level. Now he encourages all of us to engage each other with a simple question, "What made you smile today?".
