{"product_id":"9781644285626","title":"Karmic Winds : Reflections from the 'Smartest Guy in Hollywood'","description":"\u003cp\u003eKARMIC WINDS is a memoir of power, collapse, and reckoning by Peter M. Hoffman, a Yale-trained lawyer and Hollywood insider who once stood at the center of the independent film boom and later found himself stripped of status, freedom, and certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs president of Carolco Pictures, Hoffman helped steer an era-defining slate that included Terminator 2, Basic Instinct, and Rambo, navigating a world of massive egos, creative brilliance, and financial brinkmanship. But ambition has its cost. After the industry turns, legal battles mount, and a federal conviction leads to imprisonment, Hoffman is forced into a confrontation far more exacting than any boardroom negotiation: a reckoning with his own choices, illusions, and moral blind spots.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eSet partly within the quiet, disorienting confines of Terminal Island federal prison, Karmic Winds traces a journey through humiliation and loss toward clarity and acceptance. Drawing on philosophy, Buddhism, and a lifelong search for meaning, Hoffman examines the nature of justice, the seductions of power, and the invisible forces—personal and systemic—that shape our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Neither a tell-all nor a plea for absolution, Karmic Winds is a deeply reflective account of success and failure, told with intellectual rigor and emotional restraint. It is a story of what remains when the titles disappear, the noise falls away, and one is left alone with the self...and the winds that carried them there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Bird Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48872632418539,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":54.93,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781644285626-1.jpg?v=1783763915","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781644285626","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
