This collection of extraordinary stories shared by ordinary people, allows us to experience the world through another's eyes, and reminds us that we are not alone in our life journey. Find comfort in knowing others have walked your path, and for those experiences you don't have, borrow the eyes, ears and feelings of the person going through it. Unmasked expands our minds and our hearts. These first-person vignettes, spanning from life-threatening conditions to the joys and challenges of romance, are shared by members of the Experience Project, an online community where people share anonymously about their life experiences. EP is a place where people remove their "masks," and share genuinely about the things that make us who we are, and we hope this book is a small slice of the raw, powerful humanity within EP. Connecting over 15 million people per month, through 35 million life experiences. EP is the largest experience-based online community, and is widely praised as the emotional heart of the web. We invite you to come see the magic that happens when people open up and share honestly: www.experienceproject.com
