Why is the Netherlands consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world? Have the Dutch solved the secret to happiness and what can the rest of the world learn from them? Olga Mecking attempts to unlock this mystery in her terrific book, "Niksen: Embracing The Dutch Art of Doing Nothing".
Olga has spent a significant amount of time living and raising her family in the Netherlands and has seen the benefits of Niksen. We talk to Olga about the health benefits of Niksen and why it makes sense to slow things down and enjoy the finer things in life in a very fast paced world.
