The Netherlands is one of the happiest countries in Europe and the world. An important component of the 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. It requires no investments: you don't have to buy anything, change yourself, renovate your home, update your wardrobe, learn to meditate, or go on a diet. All you need to do is nothing! To unravel the mystery of niksen, journalist, writer, and translator Olga Mecking conducted comprehensive research, interacting with various experts—psychologists, sociologists, coaches, historians, cultural scholars, as well as the Dutch themselves and those who have moved to the Netherlands from other countries and are mastering national traditions on-site. As a result, she created a witty and practical book offering effective tools for solving daily problems and improving the quality of life here and now. Even if you are a very busy person and your days are scheduled by the minute, Mecking will show you how to find time for niksen at home, at work, on the road, and help you not only learn to relax and let go of the unnecessary but also become happier, healthier, and more productive.
