Niksen

I love Olga's style. This is an easy read with well-documented sources. I am trying to Niks, and think it will work in my life if I can only stop thinking about my to-do list first. :)
I'd recommend this book for creative people and those who struggle with mindfulness practices. No breath work, just stillness and nothing.

This was such an interesting book to read! I hadn't expected to fly through a non fiction book as I did with this one. The subjects touched upon in this book were all very interesting and insightful. It really IS important to take some time off for ‘Niksening'. Mecking doesn't portray ‘Niksen' as THE solution for peace and calmness in your life, and also clearly makes sure that it doesn't always work for everyone. I really liked that, as some self help books tend to portray their methods as THE perfect solution. This wasn't the case for Niksen!
As a person living in a neighboring country of the Netherlands, and as a Dutch speaking person as well, I think I liked this book even more. I loved reading some more about the beautiful Netherlands.
I really enjoyed this book and found it to be very interesting! If you're interested in how to implement ‘niksen' into your own life, I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Thank you Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinion.
