Hoffman, a Yale-trained lawyer and Hollywood insider who once stood at the centre 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 \u003ci\u003eTerminator 2\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBasic Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRambo\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet partly within the quiet, disorienting confines of Terminal Island federal prison, \u003ci\u003eKarmic Winds\u003c\/i\u003e 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\u003eNeither a tell-all nor a plea for absolution, \u003ci\u003eKarmic Winds\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply reflective account of success and failure, told with intellectual rigour 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344327033068,"sku":"9781644285626","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e49fa6587b5bf95f9bc4772d38b01d48_bcc3945b-c838-4512-af4f-a2255bc4ad18.jpg?v=1772311782","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/karmic-winds-by-peter-m-hoffman-9781644285626","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
