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.

Finally, after having this on my wish list for forever, I finally bought it.This will be a great coffee table book.I loved the post card artwork and the layout of this book.This is more of an art book than a book meant for just revealing secrets.Don't let this deter you from reading it, though.While the words may be few, they can run the gammit of making you laugh out loud, to making you empathize, to making you cry.It's a powerful book.Both the postcard art and words are artwork in ...

Rating: - PostSecret:Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives
PostSecret allows everyone the ability to put their innermost thoughts and feelings that they may not be able to share with others into written form to share them with the world. The secrets are a mixture of happy, sad, silly, hopeful-every possible emotion much like life. If you read this book expect to feel every emotion possible!

Frank Warren is some kind of crazy genius to come up with this. I love it, and i read the blog posts every weekend. I am addicted to PostSecret!!
Rating: - Truth in Art
I found this book fantastic on a number of different levels.First, it was artistic...people sending in postcards that were original and/or altered to fit their mood.Second, it was truth...or at least something close to it.People sharing their deepest secrets, expunging their soul and saying what they really think.The collection goes from high drama to low comedy from page to page, and kept me enthralled from dust jacket to dust jacket.
