The Netherlands is one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world. An important component of the happiness and mental health of the Dutch is Nixen, or the art of doing nothing. This "secret of national happiness" is deeply rooted in Dutch culture, but everyone can master it, regardless of ethnicity, language and place of residence. It doesn't require any investment: you don't have to buy anything, change yourself, rebuild your home, update your wardrobe, learn to meditate or go on a diet. All you have to do is do nothing! To solve the riddle of Nixen, journalist, writer and translator Olga Mekking conducted comprehensive research, talked with a variety of experts-psychologists, sociologists, coaches, historians, cultural scientists, as well as with the Dutch themselves and with those who moved to the Netherlands from other countries and learn national traditions on the spot. The result is a witty and practical book that offers powerful tools for solving everyday problems and improving the quality of life in the here and now. Even if you are a very busy person and your days are scheduled by the minute, Mekking will show you how to find time for nixen 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.
