A Shift in my Writing And What’s to Come
Over the past few years, this blog page has become a space where I explore themes at the intersection of giftedness, work, identity, and the evolving inner architecture of complex minds. Many of you have shared how certain articles arrived at the right moment, or illuminated something you had long sensed but never fully articulated. And quite a few even reported experiencing intense emotions because of the recognition, reducing existential loneliness. I value that deeply, and I want to continue offering that kind of insight and impact.
At the same time, the body of work growing beneath the surface has become too large, too interconnected, and too rich to fit into a single long-form article. What once felt like a complete and rounded essay now feels like the beginning of something larger: chapters of a book rather than blogs, frameworks rather than reflections. Also, sharing my insights freely to full extent has occasionally led to others using my writing without crediting me and that just doesn’t sit right with me. I wouldn’t want that for my clients nor do I want that for myself as well. I care about my creations and value integrity greatly.
And there is another dimension to this:
I’m sitting on a great deal of new material and fresh insights, more than I can realistically give shape to through my previous way of writing. If I continue as before, I would inevitably publish only a fraction of what I intent to do. That would be frustrating, not just for me but for the work itself. It deserves a structure that allows it to unfold over the coming years, piece by piece, without collapsing under its own weight.
This means the writing here will shift.
The blogs will become shorter, more focused, and more directly connected to the larger work I’m developing. Still thoughtful, still precise, but no longer giving away the entire structure in a single sitting. Less depth and less in detail. They will act as entry points into larger frameworks and thoughtprovoking building blocks rather than standalone deep dives. To put it in German, they will be Denkanstöße that will be woven into a larger and coherent whole later.
And there’s another change intertwined with this one:
From here on, I will predominantly be writing in English.
This is partly because the two books I’m working on will be written in English. Writing in English opens the door to a broader audience beyond Dutch-speaking readers. But just as importantly, the English language lends itself exceptionally well to the nuances and conceptual layering these themes require. Also, the thousands of non-fiction books in English I’ve read during the course of my life have impacted me to such an etent that all too often I find myself having difficulty finding Dutch words that convey the exact meaning of the English ones in my mind.
I will be working on two books simultaneously:
1. A foundational book on the Gifted Hunter
The Gifted Hunter reveals a gifted cognitive archetype designed not for stability, routine, or predictability, but for emergence, complexity, and transformation. If you’ve always sensed patterns others miss, felt restless in systems built for control, or experienced your own intensity as both a strength and a burden, this book gives you the language and framework you’ve been missing.
In a world moving beyond transition into full-scale transformation, Gifted Hunters are the ones who feel the shift first and who can navigate it with more ease than their Farmer-Manager-Bureaucrat counterparts. This book exposes why conventional structures break you down, why your giftedness never fit the standard models, and how your natural orientation becomes essential when the old world begins to dissolve.
Some topics I’ll be writing about:
why your mind operates differently from the “Manager-mind” that dominates modern institutions
how to stop suppressing your high voltage and start using it intentionally and strategically
the reason you thrive in chaos but falter in routine
the path from raw Hunter energy toward the integrated, future-ready Evolutionary
This will not be a book about fitting in but about reclaiming the architecture you were born with and learning how to operate at full capacity in a world that’s finally catching up and needs you more than ever before.
2. A book on the philosophy behind Your Evolving Self
The Philosophy of Your Evolving Self will be an exploration of how gifted and complex minds grow, reorganize, and find coherence over the course of a lifetime. Instead of forcing development into rigid stages or simplistic labels, this book reveals identity as a dynamic, living architecture, as one that reorganizes under pressure, expands with insight, and moves toward coherence in its own natural rhythm.
If you have ever felt “too much,” “too intense,” or simply different from the people around you, this book provides the deeper framework that makes sense of those experiences. It illuminates why your inner life can feel both rich and turbulent, why transitions affect you more profoundly, and how your cognitive depth and emotional sensitivity form the raw material for genuine evolution.
Some topics I’ll be writing about:
how identity actually grows in gifted and perceptive adults
why intensity, complexity, and doubt are signs of development, not instability
what inner fragmentation means and how it can move toward integration
how meaning, purpose, and authenticity emerge over time
how to build a Self that can hold your depth without overwhelm
This is a book about becoming. It invites you into a deeper conversation with yourself: one grounded in clarity, kindness, and a mature understanding of what it means to evolve from the inside out.
To recap, the shorter pieces you’ll find here will reflect this shift. They will be signals: snapshots of emerging ideas, fragments of the larger structures I’m assembling behind the scenes. They will be published in a regular cadence that supports my long-term creation rather than constraining it.
Thank you for reading, responding and thinking along with me over the last few years. And for staying part of this ever-unfolding journey.
The best is yet to come. More soon.
