Book Details

Hearts, Minds, & Flesh is a compilation of stories from the ~~Don't~~ Talk to Strangers project—an ongoing series of anonymous journal entries collected from strangers. Participants are asked to write about anything they want (as long as it's true). The result is a mosaic of stories from the lives happening around us at every moment. These are our friends, our families, and people we've never spoken to.

Every moment billions of stories are unfolding—this is a glimpse into some of those things we may normally not notice.

These are our lives.

What people are saying

"These entries are truly inspirational. It's amazing how much we as human beings are all wiling to share on a piece of paper and with complete strangers but keep so many secrets from those closest to us. Perhaps, if one person read them they would learn to be more open with themselves and in turn with others. This is one of the most beautiful projects I've seen."

"Instead of packing my luggage like I should have been, I read every single story here. I giggled, I sobbed, and I came to the conclusion I just need someone to talk to. Someone who doesn't know me, who I have never met, who is just there to listen and to share stories of their own. Maybe that could be you."

"I ended up reading every entry that there was at around one in the morning. It was beautiful. Every once in a while, you hear or see something that just gives you a great sense of connectiveness with the rest of the world, and this was one of them. This probably sounds really corny, but your project sort of gave me a sense of a deeper insight into other people."
