Small changes, viewed through neuroscience

Alex Korb connects depression with patterns in brain activity and chemistry, then organizes the book around practical, everyday actions intended to help shift those patterns. The emphasis is on accumulating manageable steps rather than relying on a single solution. Alongside explanations of how emotions, thoughts, and actions relate to the brain, the book offers dozens of strategies and, in this updated edition, adds research on social media and smartphones and their impact on mental health. Its blend of neuroscience explanations and applied suggestions gives the subject both a conceptual frame and a set of concrete practices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking practical, small-scale strategies related to depression
  • Readers interested in neuroscience explanations of emotions, thoughts, and actions
  • Those looking for discussion of social media and smartphone impacts on mental health

This newly revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of The Upward Spiral offers actionable strategies to help you reshape your brain and build the life you want.

Depression can feel like a downward spiral, pulling you into a vortex of sadness, fatigue, and apathy. In The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb demystifies the intricate brain processes that cause depression and offers a practical and effective approach to getting better. Based on the latest research in neuroscience, this book provides dozens of straightforward tips you can do every day to rewire your brain and create an upward spiral towards a happier, healthier life.

If you suffer from depression, this book offers an engaging and informative look at the neuroscience behind our emotions, thoughts, and actions. This updated edition also includes new research on the impact of social media and smart phones on mental health.

Small steps in the right direction can have profound effects―giving you the power to become your best self as you literally reshape your brain, one small change at a time.
