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. From the moment I opened it, there was a hush, a subtle invitation to step inside the spaces we often avoid: the quiet corners of memory, the unspoken emotions, the private musings we rarely voice aloud.

Questions about purpose. About the wounds we

Some books arrive like old friends. Others enter like sudden winds that rearrange the curtains of your inner room. Chopra’s Abundance walked in like a polite guest with a quiet smile… and then proceeded to rearrange half the furniture in my mind.
