Innermost Personal Secrets Revealed

What is your biggest secret? The one thing you don't want anyone to know? Thousands have written their secrets on postcards and sent them to Frank Warren. Published into books, and put on exhibit, these secrets serve as powerful proof that we are all fragile and partly broken, but that we are not alone in our problems. In reading others' secrets, you find pieces of yourself: pieces you are afraid of, pieces you have grown to love, pieces you didn't even know were there.

How did you react to the secrets? 

When I read this book part of me felt "well, I'm better off than that guy", but another part felt "I feel the same way...our lives suck".

I felt better about myself and the world I live in.

anonymous says:

when things go bad, and im alone
i read these secrets in my home
i know that there are others like me
and that realization makes me happy

anonymous says:

Before I read the secrets, I felt scared and alone in the world. But now, I know im not the only one out there who cuts to erase the pain.

aniaArt says:

"confesstions cleanse the soul"...what better way to cleanse than an secret postcard.

Kaitlin93 says:

life's a little sucky, but we all feel that way at some point in our lives. And if you try, you will make it through.

totosmom says:

Sometimes I feel like "I'm the only one that ever felt this way". It always helps me to see that I'm not unique; that others have thoughts & secrets just like I do.

I felt better worse about myself and the world I live in.

only1bub says:

I felt really really sad

My Secret: A PostSecret Book (Postsecret) 

My Secret: A PostSecret Book

Amazon Price: $17.15 (as of 07/13/2009)Buy Now

At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched a new blog called PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was one of the five most popular in the world, and his first book, PostSecret, was one of the surprise bestsellers of 2005. My Secret is his second book, a collection of cards from teens and college students--none of which has been shown on the website--that carries the same emotional power and creativity that have made Warren's project a phenomenon.

What do you think of this concept? 

Did you love the ideas of sending, and reading others secrets? Do you think it is healthy to release your secrets? Is this self-therapy? Did the letters strike you in a certain way? Were you surprised by any letters? Which secret struck you the most, and why?

A fascinating lens--5 stars and more! I prefer to help people overcome dark secrets that hold them back from making positive life changes. Hope you will check out The Eby Way in this regard. Sincerely: Gary Eby, author and therapist.
