What can a finance lecturer teach people about staying fit? As part of a lecture series on business outside the usual curriculum, Alex Edmans, London Business School Professor of Finance, shares the evidence that physical and mental wellbeing supports our ability to focus and our sense of empowerment, as well as supporting all the better-known health benefits. To achieve your goals, he suggests you make your exercise regime convenient, consistent, and social. For further support, he suggests combining your fitness with other enjoyable activities and rewards. Rigorous research is the backbone of this series of lectures, which Professor Edmans originally delivered for Gresham College as the Mercers’ School Memorial Professor of Business.
