Hope you enjoy!\n\nAlex Korb is a neuroscientist in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles. (Go Bruins!) He’s also a great writer. As per the sub-title, the book is all about “Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time.” It’s REALLY good. Inspiring. Scientifically grounded. Simple. Practical. <- A winning formula for a great book! Big Ideas we explore include the power of exercising your brain (which is the #1 tip, btw), setting goals (and making decisions), developing positive habits (via repetition, repetition, repetition), biofeedback (and how to take advantage of it), and the power of others (rely on it!).\n\nGet The Upward Spiral on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1626251207\n\nLearn more about Alex Korb: https://www.optimize.me/authors/alex-korb-phd/\n\n► RELATED RESOURCES:\nBig Idea 1: EXERCISE - YOUR BRAIN\n- Conquering Depression 101 → https://www.optimize.me/conquering-depression/\n- Conquering Anxiety 101 → https://www.optimize.me/conquering-anxiety/\n- Conquering Procrastination 101 → https://www.optimize.me/conquering-procrastination/\n- +1: +1 or -1 = Destiny Math | What Must YOU be?
