    • Neuroscientist Alex Korb, PhD, explains why yoga, socializing and showing gratitude - plus good sleep, exercise and better habits - matter. He describes in detail how your brain and body communicate and how your body releases neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine and oxytocin when you take positive actions to reduce stress, improve your mood and fight depression. While never giving medical advice, getAbstract finds that Korb's book will be especially useful for people that are new to the topic.

    • Wenn uns eine depressive Verstimmung belastet, befinden wir uns schnell in einer gefährlichen Abwärtsspirale: Wir wissen, dass wir Freunde treffen oder Sport machen sollten, wollen uns in unserer schlechten Stimmung aber niemanden zumuten und können uns einfach nicht zu körperlicher Bewegung aufraffen. In der Folge geht es uns am nächsten Tag oft noch schlechter. Korb schildert anschaulich mithilfe der neuesten Erkenntnisse aus den Neurowissenschaften, wie wir schrittweise gegen Depressionen angehen können - um so wieder in eine Aufwärtsspirale zu kommen.
