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.
