THE UPWARD SPIRAL

Based in the latest research in neuroscience, The Upward Spiral guides readers through a series of small, practical steps for alleviating depression.

Depression can feel like a downward spiral, pulling us down into a vortex of sadness, fatigue, and apathy. Based in the latest research in neuroscience, this book offers dozens of little things readers can do every day to rewire their brain and create an upward spiral towards a happier, healthier life. 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. Small steps in the right direction can have profound effects—giving readers the power to literally “reshape” their brain. Alex Korb, PhD, received his PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is currently a postdoctoral neuroscience researcher at UCLA in the department of psychiatry. Foreword writer Daniel J. Siegel, MD, is executive director of the Mindsight Institute.
