THE UPWARD SPIRAL WORKBOOK: A PRACTICAL NEUROSCIENCE PROGRAM FOR REVERSING THE COURSE OF DEPRESSION
Book ID/图书代码： 09700018C00051
English Summary/英文概要： Positive life changes lead to positive brain changes. Drawing on the huge success of his groundbreaking book, The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb offers actionable, step-by-step skills to help you reshape your brain and create an upward spiral towards a happier, healthier life.
Depression is defined by a collection of symptoms. You feel crappy most of the time. Nothing seems interesting, and everything seems overwhelming. You have trouble with sleep. You feel guilty and anxious and have thoughts that life isn’t worth living. Each symptom reinforces and inspires new symptoms, and this is a sign that your brain circuits are caught in the downward spiral of depression. So, how can you reverse it?
In his first book, The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb demystified the intricate brain processes that cause depression and outlined a practical and effective approach for getting better. Based on the latest research, this evidence-based workbook takes the theory behind Korb’s breakthrough book and distills it into concrete, actionable exercises and skills.
Just as one small trigger can drag you down, an effective intervention can start enough momentum to carry you back up. Exercise, attention to breathing, gratitude, sleep hygiene, and positive social interactions are just some of the offerings in this workbook that can help alter activity in specific neural circuits, setting you on the path toward an upward spiral to happiness and well-being.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 积极的生活变化导致积极的大脑变化。神经学家亚历克斯•科尔布凭借其开创性著作《螺旋上升》的巨大成功，提供了一些可行的、循序渐进的技巧，帮助你重塑大脑，创造一个螺旋式上升式的，通向更快乐、更健康的生活方式。
抑郁症的定义是一系列的症状。你大部分时间都感觉很糟糕。似乎没有什么有趣的，一切似乎势不可挡。你睡眠有问题。你感到内疚和焦虑，觉得生活不值得过。每一种症状都会强化和激发新的症状，这是大脑回路陷入抑郁恶性循环的信号。那么，怎样才能扭转这种局面呢?
在他的第一本书《螺旋上升》中，神经学家亚历克斯•科尔布揭开了导致抑郁的复杂大脑过程的神秘面纱，并概述了一种实用有效的改善方法。根据最新的研究，这本以证据为基础的手册采取的理论使得科尔布的书有了重大突破，并提炼成具体的，可操作的练习和技能。
就像一个小的触发器可以把你拖下水一样，一个有效的干预可以启动足够的动力让你重新振作起来。锻炼、对呼吸的关注、感恩、睡眠卫生和积极的社交互动，这些都是这本工作簿中提供的，可以帮助改变特定神经回路的活动，让你走上通往幸福和幸福的螺旋式上升之路。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况："The Upward Spiral Workbook is grounded in the same excellent neuroscience principles as The Upward Spiral but offers even more practical guidance to enacting meaningful life changes for alleviating depression and maintaining recovery. While I recognize its value in self-help, as a physician I’m also excited to use this workbook as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for my patients."
