I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You




Packed with hard-won wisdoms and gentle truths, this is Miranda’s honest exploration of the lessons she has learned on her journey from illness to recovery

Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book.

Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have been surprising joys, but also challenging lows. I shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures. Practical tools, values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists, neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the ‘ists’) out there, that have led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical recovery I never would have thought possible.

If you fancy having a read, then I hope my story might help your story. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way. Oh, and I couldn’t possibly say if there is a love story in it . . . (There is - shush) Exciting.

Praise for I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You

Packed with optimism and wisdom

i

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

A memoir and a guide for those in a similar scenario, or indeed anyone feeling crushed and exhausted by modern life

inews.co.uk

This book is a real gem for therapists to recommend to clients. A rich introduction to some of the best self-help strategies from a trusted and much-loved icon. All the more powerful to read how Miranda discovered them via her own health crises; a painful read were it not softened by her comedic take on life's trials.

Dr Christine Dunkley, Consultant DBT Trainer

A wonderful book, filled with treasure

Julia Samuel, psychotherapist and bestselling author

Irrepressible and joyous. Taking us affectionately by the hand, Miranda takes us through her ten-year journey to deep self-knowledge. Along the way she picks up treasures, smashes old patterns of behaviour, and works out a code for how to live and what life's priorities should be. She describes memorable escapades from her past and can't repress her inner funniest girl in the dorm self

Daily Mail

The wisest, kindest, bravest, most forgiving and generous book. A manual for gentleness

Isabella Tree

Wonderfully optimistic

Financial Times

A lot of wisdom as well as hilarious and heartwarming comedy

The Lady

SUCH FUN! Miranda at her chummy best
