About this listen
Parameswaran Iyer, former secretary to the government of India, is best known for leading the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship program, which became the world's largest sanitation revolution.
But Iyer is not your typical bureaucrat. With a far-from-usual career combining two distinguished tenures in the government and an eventful stint outside it, he likes to describe himself as an uncommon "Insider-Outsider-Insider".
In Method in the Madness, he reflects on the unique path he chose - from cracking the IAS to becoming a globe-trotting World Bank technocrat, to playing the role of a coach to his professional tennis-playing children, to finally returning to India and implementing the SBM.
Written with humor and wisdom, this is an inspiring book full of key management insights, practical career advice, and valuable life lessons that will resonate with listeners across age groups and professions.

A saga of the world’s biggest sanitation programme profoundly executed - by an insider, outsider and insider. 
Paramewaran Iyer's "Method in Madness" presents a captivating portrayal of India's Swachh Yogi, chronicling the remarkable progress in a clear and engaging manner. It offers a valuable insight into PM Modi's vision for universal sanitation and water accessibility.
This book is a must-read for bureaucrats, policymakers, and executives involved in managing large-scale projects. On the other hand, the narrator Nikhil Sangha has done is a commendable job.

Learning about the importance of Behavioural change
I was of the opinion that much of the bureaucracy master on execution and very less of strategy. The SBM attempt at the world’s largest behavioural change is a learning indeed… great book
Also have to give it to the Modi era for identifying the experts to have unique objectives defined and executed
