The re is an art to doing nothing. And, it has nothing to do with being lazy. this episode helps you understand what it truly means and how to make it your own art form.

LISTEN NOW


 

In a society that rewards productivity and where busyness has become a badge of honor, the concept of Dolce Far Niente (Italian) or Niksen (Dutch) can seem so foreign or worse, misunderstood as being lazy. 

The truth is, our society is more burned out that ever before. According to a 2022 Forbes article, findings from Asana, McKinsey and Deloitte reports reveal than burnout is a worldwide problem where 70% of people experienced burnout in the past year. 

So what can we learn from the Italians and the Dutch who live by this life principle of truly savoring life by mastering the art of "doing nothing."

Host Chris explores this life philosophy, which is present in several different cultures, what it really means to master the art of doing nothing, and how to integrate this practice...yes, even as a high achiever.
