    About this ebook

    The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time by Alex Korb| Conversation Starters

    There’s nothing wrong with your brain, just like there’s nothing wrong with the air in Oklahoma — despite the devastating tornadoes. The depressed person has not damaged goods but the brain is wired differently. It is a result of poor communication between two systems in the brain. A downward spiral is caused by anxiety, worry, bad habits, and negative thoughts. To get out of the downward spiral, small steps can be initiated by setting goals and making small decisions. An accessible account of how the brain malfunctions and how these cause depression, this book also provides instructions on how to follow an “upward spiral” and get out of the debilitating condition.
    The Upward Spiral is written by Alex Korb who is currently doing postdoctoral neuroscience research at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a blogger for Psychology Today.

      Your Brain Makes You a Different Person Every Day

      Oct 14, 2020

      Brain “plasticity” is one of the great discoveries in modern science, but neuroscientist David Eagleman thinks the word is misleading. Unlike plastic, which molds and then retains a particular shape, the brain’s physical structure is continually in f

      Such a disappointment. I thought it was the book The Upward Spiral. Then I saw the background of the photo...it’s a summary...not at all helpful without the original book. Just a trick.
