Niksen. Holland art of nothing

The Netherlands are one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world. An important component of the happiness and spiritual health of the Dutch is NIXEN, or the art of nothing. This “secret of national happiness” is deeply rooted in the Dutch culture, but everyone can master it, regardless of ethnicity, language and place of residence. This does not require any investments: you do not have to buy anything, change yourself, rebuild your house, update your wardrobe, learn to meditate or sit on a diet. All that is needed is to do nothing! To solve Nixen’s mystery, the journalist, writer and translator Olga Miking conducted comprehensive research, talked with a variety of experts - psychologists, sociologists, coaches, historians, culturalists, as well as with the Dutch themselves and those who moved to the Netherlands from other countries and masters National traditions on the spot. As a result, she got a witty and practical book that offers effective tools to solve daily problems and improve the quality of life here and now. Even if you are a very busy person and your days are scheduled in minutes, Mecking will show how to find time at Nyxen at home, at work, on the road, and will help not only learn to relax and let go, but also become happier, healthier and productive
