| The project that captured a nation's imagination. The instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary. "You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative." It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously. The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional. As Frank began posting the cards on his website, PostSecret took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a simple art project. It has grown into a global phenomenon, exposing our individual aspirations, fantasies, and frailties -- our common humanity. Every day dozens of postcards still make their way to Frank, with postmarks from around the world, touching on every aspect of human experience. This extraordinary collection brings together the most powerful, personal, and beautifully intimate secrets Frank Warren has received -- and brilliantly illuminates that human emotions can be unique and universal at the same time. | |

It's rare to find a book that can make a person break down every aspect of his or her life, by "Post Secret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives" does just that.
Frank Warren is a genius in his own way. Every postcard, every secret is like looking into a person's soul. Seeing something they've kept bottled up inside of them. Throughout reading you begin to question more and more, "Do I know who wrote this? It's like I wrote this This reminds me of so and so."
This book makes you look back on everything, every aspect of your life whether it be big or small, and begin to really realize that EVERYONE has secrets.
i usually do not read. the title of the book seemed intersting. my friend told me about it, so i bought the book. i am glad that i did because some of these secrets that people told were very funny. i think i am going to buy the rest of frank warren's books. i very much enjoyed it. it was also easy reading.
I bought this book and I absolutely love it! this book is definatly for mature readers because it does contain some explicit materials. Not for kids!
I read it and some parts I cried to because many secrets in here I am sure we can share with! Its uplifting to think that we are not alone in our secret thoughts. Its is a BEAUTIFUL book! i love the post cards and how the people decorated or draw on their cards.
There are some funny screts, sad, and depressing secrets in this one. But overall a great book. I wish there are more!
Every post secret book gives you a look into someone elses life. I love that there is a wide range of emotions throughout the post cards. You'll always find a couple secrets that you feel like you could have written yourself. Great as a gift for someone else or yourself
Absolutely excellent book. An amazing idea that allows people to free themselves of embarrassing, funny and painful secrets. It also allows people all over the world to see that they are not alone.
