Episode Description

You're often told "having it all" looks like the luxury lifestyle - a mansion with all the modern toys, sailing in Seychelles, private parties, Louboutin loafers and Hermes handbags.

But what if I told you, you've been lied to? That the shiny shit that smothers Instagram isn’t a real replica of success.

In this episode of Against The Grain we’re diving into the concept of "having it all" - the fat furphy we've been fed about WHAT having it all looks like and HOW these ideals can leave us feeling jaded about our own accomplishments.

Maybe, like me, you've been led to believe that attaining society's standards of perceived success, and having it all, would most likely be out of reach for you.

But I'm here to tell you otherwise. That you CAN in fact, have it all. You CAN become successful and abundant in all areas of your life.

How do I know?

Because I have it all. Yet… it doesn’t look like what you imagine.

Listen in to find out why impressing yourself is the real remedy to having it all.

Based in Jersey City, NJ. Against the Grain, or Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans Loyal Books “THE BOOK THAT DORIAN GRAY LOVED AND THAT INSPIRED OSCAR WILDE”. Such is the enticing epigraph of one early translation of Huysmans’ cult novel of 1884, which is also routinely called the Bible of Decadence. Accurate descriptions, both, of this bizarre masterpiece which has reverberated ever since through high and popular culture. “Against Nature” (or in this version “Against The Grain”) explores to the furthest limit the life of the world-rejecting aesthete living a reclusive existence devoted entirely to artificial paradises of his own devising. This is no solemn tract, however: the book’s anti-hero Duc Jean Floressas Des Esseintes spectacularly fails to achieve his life’s work, as all his attempts to create worlds of perverse experience through synaesthesia and interior decoration prove ludicrously unsatisfying and injurious to health. An innocent tortoise also falls casualty to his theories, in the wonderful fifth chapter.
