Positive life changes lead to positive brain changes. Drawing on
the huge success of his groundbreaking book, The Upward Spiral,
neuroscientist Alex Korb offers actionable, step-by-step skills to
help you reshape your brain and create an upward spiral towards a
happier, healthier life. Depression is defined by a collection of
symptoms. You feel crappy most of the time. Nothing seems
interesting, and everything seems overwhelming. You have trouble
with sleep. You feel guilty and anxious and have thoughts that life
isn't worth living. Each symptom reinforces and inspires new
symptoms, and this is a sign that your brain circuits are caught in
the downward spiral of depression. So, how can you reverse it? In
his first book, The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb
demystified the intricate brain processes that cause depression and
outlined a practical and effective approach for getting better.
Based on the latest research, this evidence-based workbook takes
the theory behind Korb's breakthrough book and distills it into
concrete, actionable exercises and skills. Just as one small
trigger can drag you down, an effective intervention can start
enough momentum to carry you back up. Exercise, attention to
breathing, gratitude, sleep hygiene, and positive social
interactions are just some of the offerings in this workbook that
can help alter activity in specific neural circuits, setting you on
the path toward an upward spiral to happiness and well-being.
Depression doesn't happen all at once. It starts gradually and
builds momentum over time. If you go through a difficult
experience, you may stop taking care of yourself. You may stop
exercising and eating healthy, which will end up making you feel
even worse as time goes on. You are caught in a downward spiral,
but you may feel too tired, too overwhelmed, and too scared to try
and pull yourself back up. The good news is that just one small
step can be a step in the right direction. In The Upward Spiral,
neuroscientist Alex Korb demystifies the neurological processes in
the brain that cause depression and offers effective ways to get
better-one little step at a time. In the book, you'll discover that
there isn't "one big solution" that will solve your depression.
Instead, there are dozens of small, practical things you can do to
alleviate your symptoms and start healing. Some are as simple as
relaxing certain muscles to reduce feelings of anxiety, while
others involve making small efforts toward more positive social
interactions. Small steps in the right direction can have profound
effects-giving you the power to literally "reshape" your brain.
Like most people, you probably didn't wake up one day and find
yourself completely depressed. Instead, it probably happened over
time, as a series of reactions to difficult situations and negative
thinking. But if you are ready to reverse the trajectory of your
depression and find lasting happiness, this book will show you how.
Depression can make you feel like you're stuck in a downward
spiral. But just as one small trigger can drag you down, one small
positive change each day can jump start the momentum needed to
carry you back up. Drawing on neuroscientist Alex Korb's innovative
