La autora es capaz de contar de forma clara, sencilla y cercana cómo sacar pequeños momentos para desconectar de nuestras vidas ajetreadas y simplemente estar en calma, sin tener que llenar ese tiempo.
Creo que es un libro ideal para los tiempos que corren, donde parece que tenemos que demostrar que somos más productivos, ocupamos más y mejor nuestro tiempo y que no nos dedicamos pequeños momentos para estar en soledad y sin pretensiones.
El apartado gráfico es agradable y acompaña a la perfección al texto. ¡Muy bonito!

I wish I'd read this one in paper, as I have the idea that the illustrations would have been even more charming in color (my Kindle is old and doesn't do color). The non-illustration content seemed not as helpful as I'd hoped … maybe because I'm already pretty good at doing nothing. There were a couple of nuggets but overall I was left unsatisfied.

Solid short read, can be repetitive but would be great as a book for your coffee table. Love the concept and would really helpful for someone a lot more productive then I am. :)
Cat on the cover looks my cat which is awesome.
Have a great day!

I'm currently reading Niksen: The Dutch art of doing nothing by Annette Lavrijsen. I got a Dutch copy from the library. This is a self help nonfiction book.
Randomnly picked this up from the library, because the topic intrigued me. I found out that this was originally written in English, which makes me even more curious. Not far into it, so nothing really to say about it.
I read about half way through this book and stopped reading. It gave me what I wanted. I just wanted to see what this author thought was the Dutch way of doing nothing. The things she talked about, I don't feel myself are very Dutch, more just general. A very unoriginal self help book that didn't add anything new. Therefore I stopped reading and have not rated it.

Don’t be fooled by the cover. This book is nowhere as engaging or unique or useful as I thought it would be.

my boyfriend bought me this book last week because, he knows I spend my time overthinking and overbooking myself for too many things which results in my stressing out. I use my free time to deep clean and keep myself busy from thinking about how stressed I am sometimes. I read this whole book in a day and it was delightful. The art was very aesthetically pleasing. I even grabbed my highlighters to mark the passages that stood out to me. I feel refreshed and it was a perfect book to start my 2022 with, as I believe I will start adding moments of niksen to my daily schedule to let myself breathe and do nothing and be okay with doing nothing. We need these moments of nothingness

Vlot en makkelijk leesbaar boekje dat vooral erg leuk en fancy is vormgegeven. De schrijfstijl is niet zo heel geweldig en af en toe had ik het idee dat ik niet zozeer een self help-boek als wel een gids over hoe je Nederlands moet zijn aan het lezen was, en dat is net even iets te belerend. Daarnaast zitten er nogal wat open deuren in en miste ik de nuance op veel punten: het lijkt nu af en toe een beetje ver van de realiteit te staan. Tegelijkertijd staan er interessante oefeningen en omdenkinzichten in en vind ik het leuk dat iets waar je als kind voor op je kop kreeg (van de juf of meester) of dat niet begrepen werd (door je ouders) nu een belangrijk deel is van mijn leven en van de rust die ik zo waardeer en ook gepresenteerd wordt als iets waardevols waar we met z'n allen anders over zouden moeten gaan denken. Prima leesvoer voor een zomerdag, niet níet de moeite waard.
