In "Humans" by Brandon Stanton, the kaleidoscopic essence of humanity is captured through the lens of a visionary photographer and storyteller. This collection transcends the ordinary, offering a window into the souls of strangers who walk the bustling streets of New York City. Stanton's project, which began as a simple photographic census, evolved into a global phenomenon, revealing the rich tapestry of human emotions, struggles, and joy. With each page, the reader is invited on an intimate journey that celebrates the diversity and shared experiences of our existence, proving that within every individual lies a story worth telling. Beyond mere photographs, "Humans" delves into the heart of storytelling, presenting narratives that resonate with authenticity and raw emotion. Stanton's skillful interviews uncover the profound connections that bind us, presenting a mosaic of life in its most vulnerable and exultant moments. This book is not just a collection of images but a testament to the power of listening and the magic that happens when we truly see each other. Through Stanton's lens, we are reminded of the beauty in our differences and the strength found in our shared humanity, making "Humans" a compelling tribute to the spirit of New York City and beyond.

I've learned that every feeling will pass if you give it time. And if you learn to deal with your feelings, they'll pass by faster each time. So don't rush to cover them up by medicating them. You've got to deal with them.
