Episode 22 with Nachman Seltzer

author, speaker, singer, getting there. Anything else? >> And I decided to write it. My mother-in-law gave me a pad of paper shabas. I told her, she said, "Here you go." And I took out a pen and a pad of paper and I started writing my first book. It was called The Edge. And that ended up becoming a movie also. We did a movie years later, maybe the most popular Jewish movie ever. If you're writing a book and you want to sell books, again, what's the goal? If your goal is just to write a book and you don't care if it sells to write whatever you want. I care if it sells. What do you call a successful book? >> 30,000 copies. You know what? Even 10,000 today, but to me a success, a real success is 20,000, 25,000, 30,000. That's a real success. >> How do talking about [music] the market Israel versus the US writing the books in Hebrew is it different? I say it's it's a waste of time. They don't sell.
