In her new book, "Niksen: Embracing the Dutch Art of Doing Nothing", New York Times journalist Olga Mecking shares why ritualistically letting your mind go free is the key to being more productive and happy in life. We also discuss how different governmental systems around the world affect the level of parental stress in that region, and how many moms experience unexpected feelings of culture shock and isolation when they become new parents.
