Niksen. Dutch art nothing. Mecking O.

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 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 the wardrobe, learn to meditate or sit on a diet. All that is needed is nothing!

In order to solve Nixen’s mystery, journalist, writer and translator Olga Mucing conducted comprehensive research, talked with a variety of experts by psychologists, sociologists, coaches, historians, culturalists, as well as with the Dutch themselves and those who moved to The Netherlands from other countries master national traditions on the spot.

As a result, she got an 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 for minutes, Mecking will show how to find time at Nyksen 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.
