Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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.

- Post Secrets ReviewVery Interesting book - but in my opinion, I was not prepared for all the sorrow in people. I had heard of the book and my daughter (17) wanted to read it, but after reviewing the book myself, I decided I could not give it to her. As a parent, I try to keep the gloom from her life as much as possible. In life, every person has gloom and bad times. With some people, the bad times are much worse. If she must experience the bad times, I would rather her not be exposed to more. (Some people will ... Read More

- Emotional and HealingI love this book and idea. I go to the website occasionally and cry every time with tears of joy, sadness, pride or anger. Reading some entries make me want to open my life to others and show those in my life just how special they are to me. I also like the fact that the postcards have to be original... nothing like creative juices to help with healing.
I still have to send out my own secret.

- Entertaining and thought-provokingI received this book as a gift and read it that night, in one sitting. I just couldn't stop sifting through the secrets on each page. So many were funny, disturbing, or heart-wrenching. And I could relate to so many of them.
The artwork on the postcards ranges from quick sketches to gorgeous collage but, with every piece of art so personal, it's easy to get caught up in each image. The only complaint I have is with the two-page spreads. When the text runs over two pages, the binding ... Read More

- Perfect??!!What do you get someone that has everything and can get anything? This book. I got it for my sister who buys whatever she wants (within reason of course) and so when she got this book for xmas last year, she couldnt put it down. This year I am following it up with the book's sequel and I know she'll love it!
I know some reviews were disappointed because the book was mostly just ones from the web site, but for someone that has never seen the web site... its perfect.
