About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The #1 bestseller

Packed with hard-won wisdoms and gentle revelations, this is Miranda's honest exploration of the lessons that have helped her.


Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You. I know – what an intriguing title!

Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have been surprising joys but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures. Treasures – practical tools, values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists, neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the ‘ists’) out there – that have genuinely led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical recovery I never would have thought possible. Life now, amazingly, with what I will share is – SUCH FUN! (Always important to quote your own catch phrases…)

If you fancy having a read, then I hope my story might help your story. After all, we are in this beautiful, mysterious, challenging life together. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way – we will have a laugh too, my dear reader chum. Oh, and I couldn’t possibly say if there is a love story in it . . . (There is – shush.) Exciting!

'A bombshell, moving, inspirational. Hart passes on the tips that helped her emerge from psychological as much as physical doldrums. No comedian, female or male, has been so taken to the nation’s bosom since Victoria Wood' Independent

'A raw and poignant account. Miranda is more of an everywoman than ever before' The Times

'Miranda's account of slowly letting her guard down and being vulnerable is sweet and moving, and proof that happiness is possible even in the most trying times' Guardian

Editorial Review

Finding freedom, joy, peace, and fun with Miranda Hart
It was a few years ago that I binge-watched several seasons of the long-running British TV series Call the Midwife, and Camilla “Chummy” Noakes (played my Miranda Hart) quickly became a character who felt like a friend. Hampered by acute shyness, Chummy was nonetheless an adept midwife (if I were to have a baby in a London tenement, I’d want her by my side). Similarly, I welcome the sage advice offered by Hart in this revealing, informative, and very funny memoir. It’s prescriptive in the most useful of ways. She shares the “treasures” she’s collected—practical tools learned from scientists, neuroscientists, therapists, and sociologists that have helped her to heal physically and emotionally. She’s done the work and is here to help us, her fans, navigate our own journeys to health. — Tricia F., Audible Editor

If you are going to listen to one book this year listen to this

I wholeheartedly love Miranda, she has had such a positive impact on me and my life. I could tell you how her show kept me going in the darkest moments, I could tell you so much, but instead I'm going to ask you to listen to this book.

Now at 34 when I am coming to terms with some things in my health she has helped me yet again. This book will have you gripped, smiling, laughing and teary. This book and it's learnings will stay with you, as they will stay with me.

I'm going to gift this to family and friends this year as so many people need to listen to this.

Miranda you will never fully know you impact, but from a happily married, duck mum (3 little appleyard ducks), who finds the light and Joy everyday both at work and at home, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you

Loved This

Part memoir part self help book, and what a brilliant book it is! I couldnt put it down and listened to it over two days on holiday. I don't have a chronic illness, but even so this book resonated with me so so much....maybe its being a fellow 6ft highly sensitive introverted person! I'm tempted to go out and buy the paper version so I can go through at highlight all of the bits that I know I'll want the refer back to and remind myself of again and again.

Brilliantly, sensitively and cleverly presented.

The perfect example of the generosity of person, who has suffered beyond my imagination, being prepared to, not only share the experience, but also to help pull others through the maze of 'Doctor Rejection' onto the path to wellness with her seriously ingenious ideas of how to stand back, internalise, then proceed to forth.

Uplifting and honest

Always loved Miranda. Loved the book, so happy for her. The book is honest and she in my opinion has the right idea! Cannot understand all the criticism surrounding this book at all! It helped her get overcome her illness and be the best version of herself! Good for her!

wow! saw myself in the book

I watched mimiranda, love what she did with her story lines in the show.
hearing about her struggles in life and how she coped with is was just so understandable to me.
the way she goes about explaining things and involving the listener was just 👌 👏.
thank you autumn21

a map to overcome, love yourself and to love others

This book is very timely for me and is so full of treasures and gems that I've had to listen to in in full and then re-read to actually study what Miranda has shared in the pages. This is not just another self help book but a book on loving and living life, yourself and others to the full. How to understand our holistic self's and others while overcoming the fear and challenges set in us by experience, trauma, the world and society, others and even ourselves.
It's not just a once read, to glem all in these pages it needs to be read/listened to again and again.
Thank you Miranda for sharing ❤️ love yooo !

Thought Provoking

Miranda’s calm working voice accompanied by her emotional story of stringy and self belief really was thought provoking! An excellent listen.

I want to be you when I grow up

Whilst this will have touched so many with chronic illness, I am so glad it mentioned parents. As a single mum I felt so much of this and how desperately I am to claw back out of it. The mention of a workbook made me so happy, I hope this does come to fruition.
I wish you were my friend, I’m so glad you wrote this, I hope one day I’ll be able to join you in the light of joy, and find my person. This book was better than any “therapy” I have had so far. Much love x
