Secret Regrets: What if you had a Second Chance?

by Kevin Hansen

AS FEATURED ON THE DR. PHIL SHOW, CNN and Psychology Today! What is the BIGGEST regret of your life? The one thing you would change or do differently if you had a second chance? This book is a compilation of hundreds of the most honest, raw, and sometimes heartbreaking and shocking glimpses into the lives of complete strangers. Real regrets from real people, anonymously confessed to the Secret Regrets project creator, Kevin Hansen. This book shows how the "Secret Regrets" project has grown into a global support community of complete strangers anonymously connecting with complete strangers, offering words of compassion, empathy, and unconditional support. Allowing people to finally put guilt and regret behind them and move on. Reading this book is a journey into the secret side of human frailty. You will find yourself lost in the deepest, darkest and sometimes unimaginable secret regrets of others. And more than likely, you will find a reflection of yourself in one or more of these anonymous confessions - and come to realize that no matter what you've done ... or what you are facing in your life ... you are not alone.Questions?

Don't read this book in public! I was on the bus when I started it and was crying and couldn't help myself. It's fine but it can be emotional. I was better as the book went along.
This book is like a confessional for things peole have or haven't done and things they had wish they had done. Some write ups are very short and powerful, 1 sentence, others are a little longer. Many are very poignant. People comment on these posts as the author created a blog/website for people to post their secret regrets. People have a lot of compassion and empathy for complete strangers though there were a few comments that took me aback because they weren't along the grain, in my mind, of support that the comments were leaning towards.
I think this book was really good and the concept is great. Like I said earlier, a confessional, and I think it's powerful to write things down and get them out in the open. At that time maybe there is an opportunity to heal. It's an easy read and not really long. I have noticed there's a volume 2 and I will definitely be reading that.

I thought perhaps there would be some wisdom about how to live your life well in here, but mostly it was just sad, although the encouraging words people posted for each other were heartwarming.
