Description
Jen talks to writer and journalist Olga Mecking about her wildly popular book Niksen: Embracing the Dutch Art of Doing Nothing.
They talk about how doing nothing is different than mindfulness and meditation and that to do nothing has to have no goal - even though science shows that taking time to do nothing vastly improves our nervous system and creativity.
