  • “Catherine Roscoe Barr has good news: our minds already contain all the resources we need to live healthier, happier lives.

  • "Feel Better Now is a refreshing and inspiring guide to creating a life of balance and fulfillment. What I love most is how Catherine Roscoe Barr combines science-based insights with a warm, relatable tone, making the guidance feel both practical and achievable. The book doesn’t just offer advice — it also provides a clear road map for creating meaningful daily habits. The concept of a 'micro-manifesto' really resonated with me — small, intentional actions that align perfectly with your personal goals and values."
    — PETER VAN STOLK, former CEO of Sustainable Produce Urban Delivery (SPUD.ca)

  • “‘Between stimulus and response there is a space…’ Catherine Roscoe Barr has offered powerful considerations about what to do in that space.
