Depression can feel like a downward spiral, pulling you down into a
vortex of sadness, fatigue, and apathy. Based in the latest research in
neuroscience, this audiobook offers dozens of little things you can do
every day to rewire your brain and create an upward spiral towards a
happier, healthier life.
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 audiobook will show you how.
