More About This Book

Overview

For the past four years, Frank Warren, known as "the most trusted stranger in America," has invited people all over the world to send him creatively decorated postcards bearing secrets they have never before revealed. He has shared these PostSecrets on his blog, in an internationally traveling art exhibit, and in four electrifying and bestselling books: PostSecret, My Secret, The Secret Lives of Men and Women, and A Lifetime of Secrets.

Warren's fifth book presents a never-before-seen collection of the most personal PostSecrets he's ever received—those dealing with life, death, and issues of faith and belief. The book lays bare the confessions of people at every stage of life, from every major faith (or from no faith). Warren's latest collection of secrets is his most profoundly moving yet.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Like many of the best conceptual art projects, Frank Washburn's PostSecret can be described in a single sentence: "PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard." Each of these annotated images is a total immersion. In addition to the often startling messages, the cards often deliver their most powerful punch through their handwriting, drawings, and cut-and-paste visual accompaniment. This PostSecret book presents another batch of secrets so deep that we want to share them.

    Coffee Table Staple

    This book is an amazing conversation piece-place it on your coffee table and your friends will not be able to resist! Some secrets are humorous, some are tacky and some are touching. At work we borrowed the theme and ideas from this book by asking people to post their 'secrets', we then used these post cards to advertise and bring attention and focus to important topics. We debriefed afterward and realized the complexity of our environment and the small details one can often overlook. It is amazing the quality conversations that can come from a simple testimonial post card. This is a great idea and a great book.

    Not So Lonely

    The post secret books are amazing! If you've ever had a secret (and we all have,) that you couldn't share with any one and it made you feel like you were alone in the universe, this book is for you! Some secrets are funny, some ironic, and some are very very sad, but they're all real. A lot of the cards by themselves are beautiful. It's the kind of book that makes the world feel a little smaller...

    I thought the book was enlightening, inspiring, and motivating. I really enjoyed reading all the different postcards. I enjoy sharing them with friends and family. This book has really touched me.

    A Keeper

    I got this as a gift about four years ago and still look at it every couple months. I love Post Secret books. It's amazing how touching and relatable they are, yet at the same time, how funny they are. Post Secret books make excellent gifts and are great to have in the living room to start conversation. Anyone can relate to these.

    Just Great

    I serendipitously discovered this book one day.Read it through in one sitting amazed. These days, I've been really depressed about life and myself. I returned to this book, and it made me feel completely human...which is a blessing.

    Inspiring secrets.

    I enjoyed the book and liked the deep and inspiring secrets, however, I do not know if this book is worth this much. Once you read the secrets once or twice, the book pretty much just sits on the bookshelf.

    There are parts of this book that break me into pieces.

    What I find most interesting about this book is the variety of lives and secrets that are revealed. It's not just a book about sorrow or friendship or self loathing or true love. It's a combination of these and many more and they juxtapose one another in exciting ways. A postcard about cheating might be next to one about eating disorders or having never been in love with a life partner. So many voices are heard. Each thought is expressed with an eclectic collage of the secret teller's creation. No two secrets are the same and if there is a slight overlap in theme, the accompanying image is completely different. The real power in the book is the anonymity. It allows the reader to feel intimate with the secret teller and relate to a thought without exposing either person. I defy anyone to read this and not share at least one secret. This is a stunning piece of work.

    CLASSIC POSTSECRET MISSING SOMETHING

    THIS BOOK WAS REFRESHING IN ITS TOPICS, BUT AS I WAS READING THROUGH IT I FELT LIKE i WAS SORT OF JIPPED. FRANK RELEASED A LOT OF THESE SECRETS BEFORE THE BOOK CAME OUT, AND THE ONLINE ARCHIVE SHOWED A LOT AS WELL. I ALMOST THINK IF I HADNT ORDERED THE BOOK I WOULDNT HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON MUCH. NOT THAT THE SECRETS ARENT TOUCHING, AND FRANK SURELY MADE SOME GOOD CHOICES ON SECRETS TO INCLUDE, BUT SO MANY OF THEM WERE PRETTY MUCH OLD TO ME ONCE I READ THE BOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME.

    Great coffee table book!

    I love these PostSecret books - I have several for my coffee table. Everyone who visits always enjoys looking through them, and it gives one a weird sense of peace to read other's secrets (except for the disturbing ones - not peace, then). :)

    Can't wait for the next one

    The post-secret books are fabulous. They let you delve into the minds of complete strangers so that you are able to realize that your problems are not just your problems. Other people, everywhere else in the world, share your problems and then you don't feel quite so alone anymore. Some are funny and offer a laugh. Others are shocking and make you want to know the story behind them.

    Once you pick it up you will be intrigued. I bought this as a gift for a friend as well. Have read the others and look forward to the newest PostSecret due out later this year (Oct 09)

    Compact Secrets

    Another great book filled with real live people. It's another fantastic collection to add to your coffee table with the other PostSecret series. The book was made a little bit more compact and yes, it is much smaller, but that doesn't mean the secrets are too. Take a brief time to relax and read into the lives of others who just want to share a part of themselves so you can be free too.

    This is what it feels like to Fly...

    PostSecret is fresh, real, and liberating. It is THE reality of the people that are among us, as well as a key to finally being free to be a part of something when we always thought we were alone. It's a great outreach and approach that will warm your hearts...and you can't help but to nod along with agreement as some of these secrets may have once been yours too. Laugh, Love, and Live through these journeys together!

    You Are Not Alone!

    Frank Warren has provided the world with a skillfully thoughtful reminder that we are not alone in our anger, fears or even our pride. Pick up anyone in the series and you will be amazed. I'd also recommend that you buy "When God Stopped Keeping Score," an intimate look at the power of God and forgiveness. Given the chance, it too will change your life.

    Great.

    This book is the first Post Secret book that I have bought. It was really interesting to read people's secrets. I will probably be buying more. The only problem for me is the price, it is a bit pricey.
