Wat blijft, wil misschien nog even spreken

Voor professionals en leiders die hun ervaring willen doorgeven in een vorm die past — ingetogen, betekenisvol, en zonder druk.

Praktische zaken

Het boek hoeft niet meer te beginnen. Het is al begonnen.

Je hebt genoeg meegemaakt. Genoeg gedacht. Genoeg gedeeld.
En toch knaagt er iets. Alsof er nog iets gezegd mag worden, maar niet op een langdradige of vluchtige manier.

Geen dik boek dus. Ook niet een lijst van lessen die je eenmalig deelt op LinkedIn. Iets totaal anders. Een persoonlijk en compact werk dat recht doet aan wat je werkelijk te zeggen hebt.

Iets waarbij je jezelf niet hoeft uit te leggen of bewijzen, en iets wat voorkomt dat je in herhaling valt.

Dit gaat om ruimte maken voor iets dat al lang aan het spreken is.

Wat gezegd wil worden, zoekt soms een andere vorm.

Jij hoeft niet zo nodig…

Maar misschien wil je wel…

Alles samenvatten alsof je het afgerond moet hebben.

Iets laten staan dat weerspiegelt wat je ervaren hebt.

Nog één keer uitleggen wat je bereikt hebt.

Tonen wat eronder lag, wat echt de moeite waard was.

Bewijzen dat je ertoe deed.

Iets achterlaten dat spreekt voor zich.

Terugblikken in feiten of prestaties.

 Terugblikken in ervaring en inzicht — op jouw manier.

Een autobiografie schrijven.

Een klein boek dat iets wezenlijks draagt.

Een groot gebaar maken.

Een subtiele afronding — of misschien juist een opening.

Wie begeleidt je?

Ik ben Youri Hermes. Op verschillende momenten in mijn werk heb ik aspirant-auteurs geholpen om hun verhaal in boekvorm te gieten — zonder er een groots project van te maken.

Zelf schreef ik ook vier boeken, telkens vanuit één lijn: niet plannen, niet forceren, maar ruimte maken voor wat al aanwezig is.

Ik bied geen vastomlijnd plan, maar een heldere bedding waarin richting, ritme en vorm zich vanzelf tonen. Dat is waar dit traject om draait.

“I love everything about this; it’s bloody brilliant and better than the book marketing expert I once paid to listen to. This way is 100% a mirror of my experience writing 3 books. It’s rare to find something that gets it this right."
Katrijn van Oudheusden
"I know far too many aspiring writers who follow some program that includes writing prompts and schedules. Youri’s advice rescues people from artificial and stultifying processes and frees them to be better, happier writers."
Mel Pine
"Youri makes a compelling case for how writing can flow when we stop trying to be a writer. Worth your time, especially amidst the noise of endless advice on how to 'make it.' The Lao Tzu of long-form expression. What a gift."
JJ Vega
"Youri opens a fresh path for aspiring authors. His view on writing echoes Vedic and Advait traditions, where no one claims authorship. He invites you to write the book that's been waiting, in a way that brings uncaused joy"
Vinod Kad

Three writing approaches:
Two only feed the writer, one frees the book.

"Youri really helped me moving again. I enjoyed the attention, the questions and the talks. I appreciate Youri mostly for the time he gave me to develop my answers from a place of letting go and just be. I wasn't aware my answers still needed that much attention."
Testimonial Marloes

"The trajectory with Youri was extremely valuable to me. Bringing up my issue and receiving immediate feedback was both inspiring and constructive. The questions made me think about my challenge in a different way and provided me with tremendous insight. I valued the broad and deep knowledge of the subject."

The 8 openings to free your book right away.

8 openings to free your book transparent dark

These aren’t steps or methods to help you become an author.

Each one is a tool you’ll use in a practical way, but only when held lightly does it become something else.

A doorway. A mirror. An opening. Not to teach you how to write, but to show you that you were never the one writing.

We can’t force this part. It happens when it happens. When words come, you let them spill out fully, without editing or filtering. You throw it out without second thoughts, no matter how messy or chaotic. The mess is irrelevant. Refinement is for later, but right now, nothing needs fixing.

We’ll gather everything you’ve ever created, transcripts, articles, drafts, notes, recordings, even unfinished thoughts. It will feel overwhelming. You’ll doubt what’s relevant, what’s outdated, what fits the overall message. We’ll bring it all together anyway, knowing the book is already there, just not assembled yet.

We’ll create a cover if you don’t have one already. It’s not about getting it perfect; it’s about giving the book a face so it starts living. A cover is an anchor point, a place for everything else to gather and move around. Once it exists, it becomes something you can refer back to, even as the rest remains chaotic.

We’ll start sharing your ideas before they’re polished, refining as we go. Maybe you have platforms in place, maybe not. Whatever you’re using, we’ll connect it to everything else so the book can emerge through your disappearance. Sharing is part of the process, not a final stage.

We’ll set up an AI collaborator with a customized persona tailored to your voice. Maybe you already have one, but we’ll refine it to help maintain consistency, fill gaps, and connect the dots within the chaos. The AI isn’t a tool; it’s a mirror reflecting the book already there.

We’ll shuffle and reshape your material repeatedly. When you think, “Yes, this is it,” we’ll keep moving things until the outline becomes something obvious and unquestioned. It won’t be about conclusions, but about letting the structure reveal itself.

Words come together, and we turn them into formats that work, ebooks, layouts, print-ready files. We’ll ensure the design and presentation reflect your style and message. The editing process isn’t about fixing; it’s about making visible what was always there.

No overcomplication here. We’ll keep it simple. Whether it’s an ebook, paperback, or both, the goal is to make it globally available and easily accessible. Pricing will suit your audience and yourself. Releasing isn’t something you do; it’s what happens when you stop holding back.

Stop trying to write. Let the book happen.

This isn’t about forcing a book into existence. It’s about allowing it to unfold through practical phases I went through myself.

FAQ

By the end of the program, you’ll have a published book.

Written, shaped, and shared, whether as an eBook, softcover, or hardcover.

Published online. Available worldwide. A book that exists beyond your notes and ideas. A book that people can actually find, read, and respond to.

But to get there, your cooperation is necessary.

  • That means showing up daily. Not just to write, but to keep sharing.
  • To stop waiting for the perfect version and let the book unfold publicly.
  • To resist turning it into your personal masterpiece and instead let it be what it wants to become.
  • To not slip into the usual writer traps, like writer’s block, perfectionism, over-ownership.

In short: expect a book. But know that getting there requires a certain kind of surrender.

Not at all.

Just because my books dance in the space of nonduality doesn’t mean yours has to. This program isn’t about writing a book on nonduality, it’s about writing from a nondual place.

That means your book could be about almost anything:

  • A soulful approach to business

  • A self-help guide that doesn’t fix people

  • A philosophical dive into the everyday

  • A memoir of invisible turning points

  • A fresh take on healing or health

  • A spiritual inquiry without dogma

  • Or even something entirely unclassifiable

What matters is not what your book is about, but where it’s written from.

We remove the writer, so the writing can speak.

If you feel called to write from that kind of space (regardless of genre or theme) then yes, this program was designed with you in mind.

AI isn’t here to speed things up or fake a book into existence. It’s about precision and clarity. It shows you what’s blocking the book from moving, whether it’s structure, language, or your own effort.

AI acts as a tool to spot interference, not replace you or cheapen the process. It makes the writing you can’t see visible and undeniable.

  • EU Consumers: The price of the training is subject to an additional 21% VAT.
  • EU Businesses: If you provide a valid VAT number, the reverse charge mechanism applies, meaning no VAT is charged. This mechanism shifts the responsibility of accounting for VAT to the buyer, simplifying cross-border trade within the EU and avoiding the need for the seller to register for VAT in the buyer’s country.
  • Non-EU Customers: The price of the training is VAT exempt as sales to customers outside the EU are not subject to EU VAT rules.
