Katie Greenaway

Interesting, entertaining, funny, and thoughtful; full of insights about secrets and so much more。 Highly recommend!

This book strikes a nice balance between sharing research findings and fascinating stories。 It definitely made me reflect on what I share (or don't) with others and why。 I think it will appeal both to those who are interested in learning about the science of secrecy, as well as to people who want strategies for coping with their secrets better。 This book strikes a nice balance between sharing research findings and fascinating stories。 It definitely made me reflect on what I share (or don't) with others and why。 I think it will appeal both to those who are interested in learning about the science of secrecy, as well as to people who want strategies for coping with their secrets better。 。。。more

I won a copy of "The Secret Life Of Secrets" on Goodreads First Reads。 It was an fun, interesting, quick read。 It makes you think about the secrets we keep and our reasons for doing so。 I won a copy of "The Secret Life Of Secrets" on Goodreads First Reads。 It was an fun, interesting, quick read。 It makes you think about the secrets we keep and our reasons for doing so。 。。。more

Wonderfully written and fascinating look at the psychology of secrets

Nick Camp

A lucid, scholarly, but entertaining trip through the secrets we keep (thirteen per person on average, to be exact!)。 I love this book for staying true to the science of secrecy while also drawing connections to the experiences of the people who keep them。 A definite read if you want insight as to why we keep secrets, why they matter, and what we should do with them。

Sometimes I find academic psychology so weird:“Tory Higgins, a professor at Columbia, argues that the purpose of our communication is not only to share knowledge, but also to obtain knowledge from them。”
