Go teaches: behave differently when you are winning - don't take risks, consolidate, play conservatively. Also, to figure out how you are doing - so you can adjust accordingly.
It also teaches "if you're behind, try to rock the boat", which probably isn't great life advice.
Well, a similar lesson may well apply in cases where you are losing, and have got to win. Society might want to try and arrange things so not too many people feel that way, though.
Same advice in Sirlin's Playing to Win
