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

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.

The goofy goddess inspires another

Thank you Miranda for your vulnerability, honestly, humour, and finding yourself. It was a comfort to have a conversation with you through this book, knowing I am not alone with chronic illness. Such fun! Yours truly, MDLC

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.

Miranda never disappoints!

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!

Utterly lovely

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.

Like having a very meaningful chat with a dear friend 💛
