All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
--Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
An instant New York Times bestseller.
Landslide . . . is the one to leap upon. Smart, vivid and intrepid . . . --The New York Times I inhaled Landslide, gobbled it up. --Slate Wow. Just wow . . . --Evening Standard Cruel, unforgiving, muckraking, scandalous. I couldn't stop reading it.--The Telegraph Wolff embedded himself in the White House in 2017 and gave us a vivid picture of the pandemonium that had descended on Washington. Almost four years later, Wolff finds the Oval Office even more chaotic and bizarre. At all times of the day, Trump is surrounded by schemers and unqualified sycophants who spoon-feed him the alternative facts he hungers to hear--about COVID-19, Black Lives Matter protests, and, most of all, his chance of winning reelection. Wolff takes us front row as the president reaches beyond the bounds of democracy as he entertains the idea of martial law and balks at calling off the January 6 insurrectionist mob. As the Trump presidency's hold over the country spiraled out of control, an untold and human account of desperation, duplicity, and delusion was unfolding within the West Wing. Landslide is that story as only Michael Wolff can tell it.Award winning jazz musician Michael Wolff's journey nearly ended six years ago at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in lower
Manhattan. After being worked on by doctors and nurses for most of the night, Wolff, with the perfect timing only a world class
musician would have, regained consciousness just in time to hear one of the doctors ask his wife if he had a DNR. Before she could even ask what that was, Wolff used his last ounce of energy to gasp, Resuscitate me!
After being treated for the wrong cancer for a year and a half, it was discovered that Wolff had an ultra-rare, untreatable cancer called histiocytic sarcoma and had three months to live.
Fortunately, he was someone accustomed to surviving the odds.
Wolff had already survived a painful childhood overshadowed by Tourette's Syndrome, where his brilliance as a jazz pianist
and passion for music saw him through. He went on the road at nineteen, not only performing with some of the great luminaries of Jazz, but also conducting over twenty-five symphony orchestras worldwide.
In 1989, Wolff was chosen to be the musical director of Arsenio Hall's groundbreaking late-night talk show, which was extravagantly praised for its diversity of musical guests and brilliant house band. It was through The Arsenio Hall show that Wolff became a household name and where he met and eventually married Actor/Writer/Director Polly Draper when she was a guest on the show. (Their two sons, Nat and Alex Wolff are now highly successful actors and musicians in their own right, so the talent was passed on to the next generation.)
In the meantime, Wolff has released twenty-one albums to critical and popular acclaim, written award-winning scores to movies and television series and has managed to beat an untreatable cancer.
His compelling story begins with his fish out-of-water story in the segregated South, then moves to politically turbulent Berkley, California in the early sixties and then it takes him around the world as he earns his stripes as a world class Jazz musician.
On That Note is more than a memoir. It is like a Jazz score with words, taking the reader on the wild journey of Wolff's singular life. It is a life driven by a passion for music and a passion for being alive. Sometimes hilarious and sometimes harrowing, Wolff's story instantly sweeps us up with it and charms us with a unique voice. Many books claim to be page turners. This one actually delivers.
If you can judge a book by its enemies, Too Famous could be an instant classic.
Bestselling author of Fire and Fury and chronicler of the Trump White House Michael Wolff dissects more of the major monsters, media whores, and vainglorious figures of our time. His scalpel opens their lives, careers, and always equivocal endgames with the same vividness and wit he brought to his disemboweling of the former president. These brilliant and biting profiles form a mesmerizing portrait of the hubris, overreach, and nearly inevitable self-destruction of some of the most famous faces from the Clinton era through the Trump years. When the mighty fall, they do it with drama and with a dust cloud of gossip.

Oswald Chambers said concerning the prayer life of many, The great battle in private prayer is overcoming this problem of our idle and wandering thinking. And perhaps that's understandable because Romans 8 tells us, indeed, we do not know how to pray as we should. But it also says the Spirit can intercede for us and connect us with God. How can we do to implement the Spirit doing that? We can pray God's own words back to Him by employing the 150 prayers in the Psalms!
We can pray according to the will of God when we pray His prayers, and new focus to capture our wandering thoughts and intimacy with Him can result. But then there's the problem of many concepts applicable to the Old Covenant Christians can't pray. And that's the point of Praying Today's Psalms: it infuses the Psalms with New Covenant words we can pray to get the full benefit of each one. If your prayer life needs help, I hope you will go where many have gone for thousands of years to find it: the heart, passion, focus, and integrity of the Psalms!
Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in the land, for better or worse. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down.
For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation--into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it.
In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump--Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide--the gadfly journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Now, drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players in the world of Fox, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable.
Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old Australian billionaire--a fading titan, concerned about his legacy but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious progeny, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson, hiding out in his island homes, considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put the former POTUS back in office, against the bosses' wishes. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in the last man's man's world.
Empires fall. Kingdoms come to an end. As lawsuits pummel the financial bedrock and reputation of the network, anchors scramble, and the battling Murdoch heirs make the Roys of TV's Succession seem downright Brady Bunch, Michael Wolff documents, in riveting and revelatory real time, the final days of Fox News.

Since John the Baptist came proclaiming Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand everything has changed! It's just most don't truly understand what those words mean.The truth is, there are two totally separate and opposed kingdoms here on earth vying for our citizenship. One we are born into that Satan seeks to keep us blindly ignorant of, and the other one a kingdom God desires for us we must be born again into. Much more than most think possible of heaven's experience exists right here, right now in the kingdom of heaven on earth. Heaven is not just death's reward, it is life's reward, and the daily election of the kingdom we elect citizenship in is the game-changer!
Seek first His kingdom is not mere hyperbole, for since Jesus brought it a new reality-a literal kingdom of heaven on earth He embodied-was born! He said if we embrace that kingdom as our top priority everything else would line up. We hear a lot about the kingdom these days, but do we truly understand what that means? If you read this book, you will.

Michael Wolff zeigt in seinem Buch, wie ein Problem, das seit dem 19. Jahrhundert von Interpreten und Kritikern Hegels viel diskutiert worden ist, aufgel st werden kann: Es geht darum, wie sich Hegels Lehre vom Widerspruch zum Begriff des Widerspruchs verh lt, der in der Logik als Grundbegriff auftritt. Wolffs Buch wendet sich gegen das verbreitete Missverst ndnis, Hegels Logik f hre einen neuartigen Begriff dialektischer« Widerspr che ein, - ein Missverst ndnis, das manchmal noch mit dem Vorwurf verkn pft worden ist, dieser Begriff sei ein Scheinbegriff und beruhe auf einer logischen Konfusion, mit der die in der Syllogistik getroffene Unterscheidung zwischen kontr ren, subkontr ren und kontradiktorischen Gegens tzen verwischt und Kants Unterscheidung zwischen realer«, dialektischer« und analytischer Opposition« ignoriert werde. In Wahrheit ist von dialektischen Widerspr chen in Hegels Werken nirgends die Rede. Eines der Ziele, das Hegels Wissenschaft der Logik allerdings im Unterschied zu traditionellen Logikb chern verfolgt, ist die Beantwortung der Frage, was eigentlich ein (logischer) Widerspruch berhaupt ist. Wolffs Buch zeigt, dass Hegels Behandlung dieser Frage auf einer profunden kritischen W rdigung der Oppositionstheorie beruht, die Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft teils im Anhang zur transzendentalen Analytik«, teils in der transzendentalen Dialektik« entwickelt hat. Der erste Teil von Wolffs Buch bringt eine ausf hrliche Analyse dieser Theorie. Der zweite Teil seines Buchs stellt dar, wie Hegel die Begriffe des Gegensatzes und des Widerspruchs in seiner Wissenschaft der Logik und in seiner Enzyklop die als logische Grundbegriffe zum Thema macht. Es stellt sich heraus, dass seine Erkl rung des arithmetischen Begriffs der Negativit t, der schon in Kants Oppositionstheorie eine zentrale Rolle spielt, f r seine Kantkritik systematisch grundlegend ist. Dadurch kommen interessante systematische Zusammenh nge ans Licht, die zwischen Mathematik, formaler Logik und Hegelscher Dialektik bestehen.
Michael Wolff ist Professor f r Philosophie an der Universit t Bielefeld; seit 2007 ist er emeritiert.
