Maartje Willems

Maartje Willems is a Dutch author who explores the concept of "niksen," the art of doing nothing.

Her book introduces readers to this Dutch practice, drawing comparisons with similar concepts from other cultures.

Willems presents research on stress, burnout, and the importance of relaxation in modern life.
