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

Insightful and honest, and funny of course

As someone with personal experience of chronic illness, Miranda's book was relatable and I felt less alone from listening to it. Though I'm almost fully recovered, I'm currently facing some mid life anxiety and her insights have reminded me of the importance of identifying and questioning the validity of negative self talk. It's inspired me with ideas about how I might manage anxiety, overwhelm, setbacks and challenges. I've recommended it to a couple of friends. It may be the right nudge at the right time for others, as it has been for me.

Miranda has such Heart

I am going through the horrible lonely journey of ME and found Miranda’s joyful “Treasures” so insightful - she has become incredibly wise through her years of isolated research, and is able to arrange her discoveries into delicious, bite sized, digestible pieces.
Her humour took away the solitude I am feeling, and for that I am very grateful. I shall start listening to it again very soon. Thank you Miranda.

Insightful, uplifting & funny

Miranda shares her experience & growth treasure trove. I felt seen & motivated to just be me - not preachy but kind, poignant with humour. Loved it, and will be listening again.

But in the typical funny Miranda way that makes more manageable

Miranda, please be honest with us in the future…

…because your journey back to yourself will help so many of us with (and without!) chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt a little bit lost and like you are wasting your life feeling ill and anxious, this book is for you. You’ll walk away with a newfound grace, gentleness, and patience towards yourself.
Thank you, Miranda!

Insightful, calming, fantastic!

I didn't know what to expect from this but I've always enjoyed Miranda's humour. It is such a gloriously insightful, sensible, pragmatic, open, honest, revealing and human read and I am so upset to have come to the end of it. I resonate with so much of it, and often feel alone that my rat race job is just that and not my purpose in life, and the cloud this lifted from me when I saw it some years ago is nothing short of miraculous. I love how Miranda narrates this and it's such a calming read that I was desperate to put on every day, but not for too long, so I could savour it. I hope people take note from it and find peace with themselves as a result. Absolutely fantastic job.
