The World Of Postsecret: A New York Times Bestseller and Community Art Project of Heartbreaking and Funny Anonymous Secrets

Of all the PostSecret books, this is the most personal one by Frank - probably because its the last.

Frank Warren started PostSecret as a community art project ten years ago - asking people to send him 'artful secrets'. He hoped to receive 365. To date, he's received over a million, with more on the way every day.I remember being fascinated by this idea when it first came out. I became a devotee of the site, looking for 'new releases' on the PostSecret website on Sundays and reading all the book compilations. And somehow I fell away from it. But, the latest book release (the first in five years), The World of PostSecret, has again piqued my interest.What is about secrets that captures our attention? To see if others might have the same doubts, hopes, wishes, fears and dreams as ourselves? This latest book is close to 300 pages - and there are many and varied secrets portrayed. Honestly, I'm sure everyone will find one close to home somewhere in the book.The way the sender chooses to display/announce/portray their secret on a simple postcard is fascinating as well - truly artistic and imaginative. Interspersed throughout the book are some short missives from Warren - and the original postal worker who handled delivery.I found it hard to just read straight through from first page to last. Although here are many happy secrets, the sad seem to far outweigh them and many are truly heartbreaking. Happy or sad, they will have you thinking, perhaps remembering or planning....I think this is still a fascinating project and the spins off Warren has pursued are laudable - the PostSecret community has raised over a million dollars suicide prevention programs.And really, there's no other way to rate this than five stars. Fascinating, thought provoking and addictive. And kind of appropriate at this time of the year as everyone is making resolutions.

Been reading the website since 2007, first time buying. Love them and will share them with friends once finished.

I’ve been reading the Sunday secrets almost since PS began but had never bought a book. I’m not sure why but I couldn’t fathom what was so great about them, despite the fact that I never feel like I can get enough of the Sunday secrets. This is the best thing I ever bought myself. I struggle to find Sunday secrets that I relate to but I’ve found many in this book. I love the variety. I also love the stories & insights from Frank & the other curators (is that the right word?). I also like the secrets from the app because they can be so different (many are light hearted) from the mailed secrets. I can’t wait to buy the rest of the books.

Loved it, read the entire thing as soon as it arrived. It's a fascinating book filled with secrets that are all interesting in their own right.

Super Buch. Es lag leider offen und lose in der Verpackung, daher machte es nicht den Eindruck neu zu sein obwohl es so angegeben war.

This is such an interesting coffee table book.
