Reviews

Feel Better Now is full of useful tools to help readers live with a greater sense of joy and well-being.”

“Catherine Roscoe Barr has good news: our minds already contain all the resources we need to live healthier, happier lives. The bad news is we also have brains full of obstacles, bad habits, and rationalizations. Feel Better Now will inform and inspire you to rewrite old scripts, build new habits, and get moving.”

Feel Better Now is a refreshing and inspiring guide to creating a life of balance and fulfillment. What I loved most is how Catherine 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 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.”
