Where the writer disappears
You’ve tried writing from the heart. You’ve tried thinking it through. More discipline. More clarity. Still, the book won’t come. Not because you’re not doing enough, but because you’re in the way.
When you, the writer, disappear, the book can finally move. It breathes again. Until then, the process stays blocked. It never really begins, or it breaks somewhere in the middle.
This is where that ends.
When I gave up authorship, the books rapidly took over
Why you haven't written or finished "yours" yet
Are you tired of:
Once the writer steps aside, you’re free to…
Starting and stalling over and over again?
Feel the writing move without interference.
Carrying something important you can’t get out?
Give it a unique shape without forcing it.
Doubting what you write before it even lands?
Trust what comes through without hesitation.
Thinking about the book more than writing it?
Surrender to it without circling it endlessly.
Wondering if this will ever happen?
Let it happen without pushing or proving.
Where's the author?
I’m Youri Hermes. I started writing in 2023, and now I’m publishing my fourth book. You might think writing is my main job. It’s not. It just happens to be something I do on the side, and you could too.
I know from first-hand experience that as long as we believe we write the books, they never come out as they should. My approach is completely different. I call it writing without the writer, and it changes everything.
The W-W-W shift that lets the book speak
Writing
Not something to force.
It flows when you stop
trying to shape it.
Without
No pushing. No planning.
Just space for the book
to show itself.
Writer
The one who doubts,
controls, hesitates, perfects.
We set that down.
Neither control nor surrender works when the self is still leading...
The self-led way
The selfless way
Writing from the head
Writing from the heart
Precise time blocks and schedules
Waiting for inspiration to strike
Forcing the words to come
Hoping they’ll arrive when you’re “aligned”
Sticking to your plan
Dismantling all structure
Caught in self-awareness
Obsessed with serving others
Needing to finish
Disconnected from direction
Both paths seem different, but they’re driven by the same thing: a self trying to write. One tightens the grip, the other tries to let go. But as long as the writer is still at the center, the book can’t move.
This program offers a self-less way, with the hyphen. Not a better version of you. Not a softer strategy. But the quiet absence of the one who tries. When the writer disappears, the book begins.
A finished book
No more abandoned drafts or waiting for the right moment.
A book that feels right
No more struggling to put your message into words.
A book that attracts readers
No more forcing, the right readers find it naturally.

Not fully ready for book mentoring yet? Perfect, that might indicate it's for you.
This isn’t about forcing a book into existence. It’s about allowing it to unfold through practical phases I went through myself.
Who mentors this program?
I’m Youri Hermes, working on publishing my fourth book, having started just a few years ago. You want to share something that comes through you. Sure, AI can refine your input, but by no means should you rely on it. Writing is about presence, not automation.
Why should I publish a book as a nondual coach?
Publishing a book helps you gain clarity on your preferred topic and style. It also provides something tangible to share or sell. A book is one of the most reliable ways for people unfamiliar with you to learn about your work, often leading to new coaching opportunities.
Is writing a book really necessary?
For any (aspiring) nondual coach, having a book is essential. Those who say otherwise often aren’t authors themselves. A book naturally positions you as someone with something to say, rather than someone trying to prove themselves.
What impact has writing a book had on you?
I never set out to write a book, but once it happened, it led to many unexpected opportunities. It allowed me to refine my ideas, connect with the right people, and, of course, attract new coaching clients.
