PostSecret


Have you heard about PostSecret?

It’s an amazing undertaking by Frank Warren for a community art project where he asked strangers to write down a secret they’ve never told anyone on to a homemade postcard, and mail it to him anonymously.

This book contains those cards (in no particular order) with secrets that are both provocative and shed light on our humanity, revealing our deepest fears, desires and regrets.  The stories are unique, but many are relatable. (See third photo)


The secrets told here will elicit a range of emotions. I found it to be beautiful, inspiring, heartbreaking and funny all at the same time.
