Leon's Color Crisis

Life can be confusing for all young chameleons. But especially for Leon the Chameleon.

Since he was little, Leon’s eyes have been stuck looking sideways, so he can’t see himself and never knows what color he is. Others are constantly telling him what he should be…blue, green, orange…but they contradict each other and change their minds. How can Leon find out his true color?

Leon’s Color Crisis is a story about discovering our authentic self amid the noise of the world.

I warmly recommend the charming tale about the adventures of Eddy the Whirlpool.

The story unveils two timeless truths: that reality is a single, infinite and indivisible whole; and that happiness can be found in the understanding that we essentially are that reality. This is the simple joy of being.

Hi, I'm Gijs!

My background is in science, and for many years, I ran my own tech startup. Achieving business success was my priority—until I realized something fundamental was missing.

My search for deeper answers led me to non-dual spiritual traditions, where I discovered a simple truth: Nothing is truly separate from anything else.

That realization shifted my perspective on life. It also sparked a surprising career change. I spontaneously began writing stories to remind myself—and others—of what really matters in life.

I hope you enjoy reading these books as much as I enjoy writing them!
