About Arno Ilic
Arno’s story isn’t just about where he came from, it’s about what he chose to see. Born in post-war Germany and raised in Canada, he grew up navigating a world that wasn’t always welcoming. He saw how quickly doors could close for his mother because of her heritage, how quiet prejudice lingered not among kids, but in the eyes of their parents. He realized something deeper as he grew: while he could eventually blend in, others never had that chance. That understanding lit a lifelong fire in him to notice, care, and speak up for those pushed to the edges.
In a Catholic home, Arno was taught to take things on faith. But questions came early and stayed. Who decided what counted as truth? Why do some hold tightly to words written thousands of years ago, even when new knowledge sheds a different light? He didn’t walk away from faith, he reshaped it. Letting go of dogma, Arno chose a path of curiosity, open thought, and quiet conviction that continues to guide how he sees the world today.
Behind the Words of Arno
Arno believes that love is an everyday practice, not just a feeling. The point is to see a real person in front of you, behind the surface and choose to nurture this connection every day. He reminds us that true love grows with small, deliberate moments and quiet gestures that truly matter in a quickly moving world.
His values
Through his mind-expanding books, Arno invites you to reflect, inquire and grow. His mission is to inspire others to live with intent, build a deeper connection, and recognize life’s extraordinary, simplest moments.

Letters in the Lunchbag
What began as a small, intimate gesture—slipping a note into his wife’s lunch every morning —fits into an act of love so deep that Arno could not help but share it with the world. These notes, simple but deeply tender, reflect life, love and the small moments that make the relationship meaningful.
Letters in the lunchbag is not just a collection of thoughts but a celebration of love growing over time. It stands among the best thought-provoking books, inviting readers to reflect on the silent beauty of partnership, where the bond deepens not in large gestures but in everyday deeds of care and recognition.
This book is a gentle reminder that true love requires care. It is about finding small, beautiful things every day and deciding to see the good in the person next to you, even if life feels ordinary, an everyday wisdom that earns its place among today’s mind-expanding books.
The World According to AI (It’s Not What You Think)
The world according to AI is not just another book on technology, but an invitation to search for the soul to stop, reflect and reconnect with what matters. Counted among expanding consciousness books, it reminds us of what it means to be in the moment, without distraction, without pressure in a world that never stops.
Through this book, Arno invites you to slow down and notice the things you missed, like how the sunset feels or the sound of your breath. At a time when everyone is chasing more gadgets, more successes, and more validation, this book challenges you to accept what you already have: the current moment.
Arno encourages us to look inside, rediscover our sense of purpose, and understand that real wealth lies in things but is fully lived in life, making it one of those rare books to expand consciousness in a deeply personal and reflective way.
