Scott Adams:
'Attractive people have all sorts of proven workplace advantages over
unattractive folks. And fitness is one of the most important and controllable dimensions of your looks. So it follows that fit people probably get more job offers, venture funding, and promotions. And obviously attractive people have an advantage when it comes to sales and negotiating.
[...] Energy influences your optimism, your ambition, and how others see you. Those are big deals too.
[...] studies show that exercise and diet have a huge influence on brain health. You need your brain for most occupational challenges.
[...] Successful people tend to be lifelong exercisers. But correlation does not prove causation. Folks that have the energy, discipline and drive necessary for career success probably have what it takes to hit the gym every day too. So while it's probably true that exercise improves your odds of success, it might be truer that highly disciplined and energetic people are more likely to succeed at both work and exercise.
Still, there's enough science to say that fitness increases your odds of career success.'
