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

Story
Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence? I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.

Either way, he’d be letting someone down. But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead.

Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000's. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?

Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

Graham is a detective inspector with London’s Metropolitan police force. He’s a career police officer, an educated, reserved, thoughtful, some might say, complex man.

The goofy goddess inspires another
I purchased this book simply because I have loved the author's work in comedy. But now I am also sure that we're from the same tribe. I am also tall, athletic but slightly clumsy, and very sensitive, with a goofy, quirky sense of humour. I knew nothing about Miranda Hart’s health situation, though, and as it turns out, we share some similarities there too. The insights and coping skills she presents here come from a lot of hard experience, and a lot of research as well. These "treasures", as she calls them, are certainly things I will use; they hit me deeply and inspire me in a way nothing else ever has, because of how much I can identify with the author. Miranda Hart’s writing skills are evident, as are her skills in narration. I felt like I was sitting right next to a dear friend. I laughed, I cried, and I hope there's another book in her future.

Miranda never disappoints!
A fantastic read as are all of the rest of her books! I pre-ordered the book before I even knew what it was about. I was sad when it came to an end.

Utterly lovely
A joyous book to listen to: full of humour, seriousness, and thought provoking life lessons. It completes the stories and experiences in her other two books, but can stand on its own as a full story. I always love listening to Miranda!

Like having a very meaningful chat with a dear friend 💛
This book found me just when I needed it, and I love it so much! Listening to Miranda herself as she shared her insights with humour and compassion was such a treat. There are themes from her perspective of learning to live with and recover from chronic illness. As she thoroughly shares about the treasures she discovered, I found myself being able to apply them to my current situation of overcoming trauma and learning to live with disability. Indeed, I believe the wisdom in this book would be enlightening to people in a variety of life's spaces, as well as entertaining - particularly for fans of Miranda 💛 Beautifully written and wonderfully performed.
