The PostSecret phenomenon began in 2004 when Frank Warren began leaving blank post cards in public locations asking people to mail in their secrets. This small-scale community art project launched into a worldwide movement almost immediately.

So far there are 5 published books full of secrets written on homemade post cards. There is a certain type of therapy that can come out of sharing a difficult secret or burden. Some read these interesting books for entertainment while some read them for self-help. Even in the library catalogue they vary in what their classifications are.
In the ABC library The Secret Lives of Men and Women : A PostSecret Book is catalogued under the call number 155.6 which is classified as the sub-topic of differential psychology.
Another book titled PostSecret : Confessions on Life, Death, and God is shelved in 741.683 with books about paper crafts and post card making.
Two other books, My Secret: A PostSecret Book and PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions From Ordinary Lives are shelved in 615.8516 with books about therapy through writing.
