S. Dulat; historian Irfan Habib; Michelin-starred chef Vikas Khanna; poet Javed Akhtar; and stand-up comic Hasan Minhaj.

A fascinating collection of long-form interviews with some of the greatest minds and biggest achievers of our time, Peerless Minds is a book to be cherished and preserved.

Insightful Interviews of Interesting Personalities
Its a good collection of insightful interviews and nicely organised by the creator and narration was also pretty good. Must recommend for people interested in reading biographies and non-fiction.

Very Informative and Interesting
One of the longest Audible title I have listened so far. This title is really informative and opened the doors of some hitherto unknown stories and experiences of many notable individuals who were masters in their fields.

lacklustre
Could not get to like narration, did not like insipid stories. It is like a directory of people with their info.
