Taking us affectionately by the hand, Miranda takes us through her ten-year journey to deep self-knowledge' Daily Mail 'A wonderful book, filled with treasure' Julia Samuel '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 ----
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. ---- Sunday Times bestseller, October 2024
