Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-28 00:00:00 Jay Hatch Sissela Bok is a brilliant writer and ethical/philosophical model. Her books explore the things we often wish to ignore or shrug off. Secrets delves into the secrets kept in today's society. It argues both that secrets are necessary and unnecessary. It explores ways to reducing problems caused by secrets and investigates the good and bad consequences of keeping secrets in work, government, religion, home life and essentially any other relationship. This book really gets the reader to think and to explore his or her own ethical choices and stance.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-06 00:00:00 Lawrence Gold I would describe this bok also as a liberating read. Ms. Bok's logic is both practical and elegant.
