Sitting across a café table, the gentle hiss of the espresso machine in the background, I find myself thinking about how some books don’t just occupy a shelf—they quietly occupy a part of your mind. Reminiscent Reticence by Dr. Infini Lionne is one of those rare companions.

Some books don’t begin when you open them. They begin much earlier—in the life you are already living.   Small Actions, Big Results: 31 Habits for a Supercharged Life began for me somewhere between an early-morning routine I try hard not to skip, a basketball court that still teaches me discipline at forty-plus, a reading habit that once turned into a world record, and the quiet inheritance of values my father left behind—without ever calling them habits.   I rarely pick up s
