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

Insightful and honest, and funny of course

Unfortunately, it seems as if Miranda has been given an awful lot of disinformation and advice which has since been discredited (see the current NICE guidelines on CBT, GET and the Lightning Process, not to mention that for the vast majority of us, ME followed a virus, nothing to do with boom or bust). The only things I gained from the 'treasures' were the practical parts of pacing that I've been doing since I was told them by an NHS OT over 16 years ago. Listen to your body, rest regularly, slow down and do something you enjoy.
However, if this is working for her, then I wish her well for the future. She deserves my support as a fellow pwME. ME is an awful disease that has been maligned for far too long. Miranda, I wish you a continued lack of crashes and happiness in your marriage.
Really enjoyed the story parts, but......
