really liked it

Warren created a project in which he would ask for anonymous submissions of postcards which had their mailers' secrets on them. It was meant to be a way for people to let go of their guilt and feel lighter by not being the only ones who knew about them. The project became huge as thousands upon thousands mailed in their confessions, and so this book of curation was created.
Some submissions are lighthearted, casual admissions, while many others are very dark and unfortunate. I think what garners people's curiosities and sympathies towards these submissions is the universality of suffering. This book is almost a sentimental celebration of suffering.
There is a quote included in the middle of this book that I think expresses the success of this project well: "Without suffering, there would be no compassion."
