The Netherlands is one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world. An important component of happiness and mental health of the Dutch is niksen, or the art of doing nothing. This "secret of national happiness" is deeply rooted in Dutch culture, but anyone can master it, regardless of ethnicity, language and place of residence. This does not require any investment: you do not have to buy anything, change yourself, rebuild your home, update your wardrobe, learn to meditate or go on a diet. All you need to do is do nothing! To solve the mystery of niksen, journalist, writer and translator Olga Mekking conducted comprehensive research, talked to a variety of experts - psychologists, sociologists, coaches, historians, cultural experts, as well as the Dutch themselves and those who moved to the Netherlands from other countries and are mastering national traditions on the spot. The result is a witty and practical book that offers effective tools for solving everyday problems and improving the quality of life here and now. Even if you are a very busy person and your days are scheduled down to the minute, Mecking will show you how to find time for niksen at home, at work, on the road, and will help you not only learn to relax and let go of unnecessary things, but also become happier, healthier and more productive.
