Growing the Positive Mind

By By Dr. William Kent Larkin

Dr. Larkin’s integration and synthesis of positive emotion, which he calls the “UpSpiral” is a groundbreaking work in its field. He states his vision as follows: “To grow a positive mind, from which you become who you really are and from which you attract into your life what you really want, you have to learn how to stay in an UpSpiral.”  This book fills a long standing need in the field of neuroscience, specifically in the study of neuroplasticity, positive psychology, and the evolution of consciousness, to synthesize a highly accessible model for developing and sustaining an upward spiral of positive emotion and really achieving the life you’ve always wanted. Dr. Larkin writes in an engaging, personal style which is easy to understand, and most importantly, easy to implement in one’s life. He offers absorbing examples and insights into a subject which he had made uniquely his-growing a positive mind. I found the “Emotional Gym” both enjoyable and highly effective.

Writing for a wide audience of both general interest and professional practice, he succeeds in making his subject powerful and accessible.

This is a “must” read for anyone who wants to understand and experience a higher sustained level of life satisfaction.
