About this book

The Upward Spiral by neuroscientist Alex Korb explains how depression works in the brain and how small habits can interrupt the cycle. Sleep, exercise, social contact, gratitude, all backed by actual neuroscience rather than vibes. Useful even if you are not depressed, since most of us could use a few more upward spirals.

About the author

Alex Korb

The Upward Spiral, issued by New Harbinger in 2015, makes a narrow claim and makes it carefully. Low mood settles into self-reinforcing loops between particular brain circuits, and small deliberate changes to sleep, exercise, gratitude, decision making and contact with other people can turn those loops the other way.
