However, Warren seems not to favour too many people and the score-settling escalates to industrial levels akin to Father Ted’s Golden Cleric acceptance speech. Boxing promoter rivals, especially father and son Barry and Eddie Hearn (“Eddie’s hardly had to do it the hard way”), are shown no mercy. Neither are boxers Barry McGuigan (“another who disappointed me”) and Chris Eubank, whose reputation Warren destroys with one hideous anecdote, while Frank Bruno’s ex-wife Laura is “an absolute pain”. 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. I've been listening to music I normally wouldn't (Jazz, Norah Jones), reading books I definitley wouldn't usually (Watchmen, Scanwich, GirlLand), and all around trying to make myself happy rather than others. I seem to be pretty selfless sometimes which can put me in bad situations.From August 3, 2015 to September 2017, an exhibit [18] at the National Postal Museum features more than 500 postcards submitted to PostSecret.

Warren has stated that he includes a secret of his own in each of the PostSecret books. His "secret" is not anonymous like most; rather, Warren signs his. For example: "Sometimes when we think we are keeping a secret, that secret is actually keeping us. -Frank" [9] Frank Warren has compiled his secret postcards into several volumes now but this book was my first experience with them. My son gave it to me for Christmas - a friend recommended it to him and he knew this was something I would find intriguing. I did! I loved it. This book is geared toward sharing the secrets of younger people. Not sure exactly how he knew the senders age group but I can see from the photo and topics that he might have made a fairly accurate guess.There is also a "Postsecret Korea", though there is no reference to credit or endorsement of Warren. I liked that it gave insight into people’s minds completely anonymously – I am a notoriously nosy and curious person so this part I enjoyed. There were even a few that I connected too. But, most of them I found no connection with and just made me ache for the author of the secret. Now, I cannot judge or put merit on people’s secrets – they are completely their own and completely unique – but for me, while I found this book interesting, I don’t think I’d reread it because it doesn’t really have much of a connection with what I’ve gone through.

This book was published before things like the Whisper App, or the YouTube equivalent of the Burn Book from Mean Girls, "Story Time," became super popular. It shows in the photographs chosen - most of them look like they were taken with real film. Many are crafted, some elaborate, others scribbled sharpie on torn-out scraps of paper. They're all so different, and yet they form a cohesive whole. There's something beautifully symbolic about that, I think. The secrets themselves also cover a broad spectrum. Some made me laugh, like the clown who took the light-strewn xmas reindeer from his neighbor's lawn and made them "hump" and the person who anonymously mails people e.e. cummings poems. Others, like the person who felt responsible for their friend's drug overdose, or the many survivors of rape who felt like it was their fault or, worse, didn't feel like they felt at fault enough, were heartbreaking. There are contributions on all sorts of thorny topics, like suicide, depression, and sexuality. Some are hopeful, others despondent. There were a few that made my heart hurt and one or two that moved me to tears (the one about the grandmother made me so sad). This was my first PostSecret book and I just had to get more once I finished this one. I really loved it. I am actually thinking of startin to send my own post cards to PostSecret. This book made me feel really think. For some reason, My Secret made me want to go on some huge Art spree and just do whatever makes me happy.

( March 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) I've seen bits of the books before, and articles about it, but this was the first of the books that I've read all the way through and really took some time with. For some reason it reminded me of the film "Amelie" - one of my all time favorites.The 1973 book Variable Piece 4: Secrets by the conceptual artist Douglas Huebler (one of many works in his Variable Piece series) was a compilation of nearly 1800 secrets written by random people. On October 11, 2009, Warren took a break, posting a video and apology saying that he was busy touring, and urging readers to buy the book PostSecret Confessions on Life, Death and God.
