"Brandon Stanton’s new book, Humans—his most moving and compelling book to date—shows us the world.
Brandon Stanton created Humans of New York in 2010. What began as a photographic census of life in New York City, soon evolved into a storytelling phenomenon.

I loved every little (and not so little) story in this book. I couldn't put it down. So many beautiful and strong people with different experiences, fears, struggles. We are all so much more alike than we realize. We are all connected through our feelings of joy, happiness, loss and pain. We all feel lost and rejected sometimes and wish for someone to reach out, to listen, to empathize and make us fell a little less alone. We could all use more love and kindness in this world.

Fans of the Humans of New York blog & books will need no encouragement, this is more of the same but from all around the world.
I have to say that the stories of these people are mostly sad or jarring or frankly horrendous – the longest entry is a ten page account of a woman’s experience of the Rwandan genocide. There are many victims here, many having bravely overcome their struggles, some who are overwhelmed pools of sorrow. I notice that we get many victims or ex-victims and almost zero perpetrators.
Authors should read all these Humans books and re-think all their novels – so many ghastly or remarkable circumstances explained by these interviewees leave most fiction looking timid and becalmed.
Most people get a dense couple of paragraphs but some of my favourite entries are the one-liners :
We’re eating cookies before lunch because Grandpa doesn’t have any rules.
We don’t have any hobbies. But we do try to get together a few times a month to judge people and complain about things.
I should have invested the money I stole.
The landlord doesn’t care how much furniture you’ve sold this month.
I photoshopped my head onto a healthy body to see what I would look like.
My only obstacles are my thoughts.

So much of this was heartbreaking. I am so ashamed of how much I complain when there is so much genuine suffering in the world. We don't know how good we have it.

A fabulous book of pictures of random people captured at a moment in time and their uniques stories.
From the introduction: "In the end, this book is what it was always destined to be: the collected conversations of a single photographer - who traveled to as many places as he could, and met as many people as he could."

January 19, 2022If I could recommend only one book to someone it would be this one. You’ll read about hundreds of stories from people all across the world from all kinds of backgrounds, races, religions, ideologies.
No politics, no wars, no us vs them.
It’s raw vulnerable human emotions and stories. It’s ugly, it’s beautiful, it’s heartbreaking, it’s uplifting, IT’S REAL.
Any emotion you can think of you’ll experience when reading this book. It changed my perspective on not only the people around me but how I view myself and the world as well. It is perfect. EVERY PERSON should read this book. It’ll change your life, I promise.
Within and without everything we know and experience in this world one thing is for certain.
We’re all the same.
At the root of everything.
We are all human.

What is beautiful about HUMANS is that it simultaneously has nothing to do with its creator, and yet it is 100% a reflection and result of the man behind the images and stories this book contains.
Brandon Stanton share his connection to each person included in HUMANS with each person reading the book, and in that way we are all connected to, learning from, and empathizing with each other all around the world.

Reading Humans, it's easy to understand why Brandon Stanton's Facebook page and books are so popular: his people are open in their photos and disclosing of the good, bad, and ugly in their lives. They tell of their struggles with suicide or drugs – and fears that they will go back there. They describe their love for their spouses, children, or their parents – and sometimes how they have needed to step back from them.
There are many photos and stories from New York (not surprisingly), but his dust jacket said that he traveled to more than 40 countries for this book. Imagine getting people all over the world to talk to you about their deepest struggles – and doing so through an interpreter. Stanton said that he kept expecting that this one would be the country where he would be unable to get people to talk to him. He didn't find that place.
From Passu, Pakistan: "When I’m bored, I call up Radio Pakistan and request a song, then I start dancing. I'll even dance on a rainy day. I am the happiest man in Pakistan." (p. 227)
Stanton said, "For months after I visited Pakistan, Pakistani people would come up to me on the street and say: 'Thank you so much for showing a positive image of our country.' I was extremely appreciative of the sentiment. But I would correct them slightly. I'd tell them: 'I showed a random image of your country. Not a positive one.' But in a world where stories are selected for their negativity, randomness can easily by mistaken for positivity. When people are chosen at random – they are always nicer than we expect. They're more loving. More tolerant. And more peaceful. And that's great news for all of us. Because it's people that make up our neighborhoods, our cities, our countries – and our world" (p. 179)
Sometimes, I looked at the photos and read the accompanying stories and tried to guess where the people in the photo were from. I was wrong almost as often as I was right.
We are more alike than we are different.
Some of these stories are joyful, some are deeply sad, but still others remind us to think about the long haul.
From Negril, Jamaica: "Now I dive for tourists and they give me tips. I save the tips in a little pan, and pick at it when the seas are rough. I'd like to buy a little house one day. And maybe have a boat. And a nice woman to take care of me. But if I don't get all of the things I want, I won't complain. I'm going to love God the same way. And treat people the same way. And be happy the same way." (p. 142)

There is nothing more humbling than listening to another’s story. Brendon has created a brilliant masterpiece, compiled of real, human stories, spanning across the world.
When I received my copy, I sat down and read it through, each story a stark reminder that you can never really understand the life that hides behind the eyes of anybody you meet. But you can take a moment to stop, to listen and appreciate how incredibly special and even magical every single person is - even if they can’t always see it for themselves.
Humans sits proudly on my book shelf. Thank you to everybody who shared their story with courage and a huge thank you to Brendon for being such a light in this world.

This book made me laugh and cry and feel a whole range of emotions with all of the stories it contains. This is a wonderful book for when you need a reminder that for all of our faults, humans are still pretty wonderful.

In 2010, Brandon Stanton first began what has become his Humans project. He took to the streets of New York City and approached strangers, engaging them in conversation. Stanton heard their stories and took their photographs, and the result is Humans of New York. Over time, he began to expand his range and travel the world, and the result is this book, Humans.
I loved reading Humans of New York and I loved reading this book Humans. The stories Stanton shares cuts through all the ways people are often portrayed, the exaggerations and the overlooked, the hyped and the ignored. It reminds me of the time I spent working for the government, interviewing people in my county and in surrounding counties. I remember thinking, others need to do this, too, see what people are really like, not the ways they are portrayed in the news, on tv, in movies, on social media, and in books. And that is what Stanton has done.
This struck me as especially true: "We live in a time when we're sharing more of our lives than ever. So you'd expect people to feel connected. And heard. And understood. But instead there's an epidemic of loneliness and isolation."
This book breaks through that loneliness and isolation and shares real stories of real people. Fascinating.
He tells a little about the sort of questions he asks in this interview from the NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/19/bo...

So beautiful. I want everyone on earth to read it. The photos and short paragraphs bring pain, hope, humor, tragedy, gratitude, success, and everything in between. I feel more connected to humanity and more empathetic to my fellow humans. There are so many stories aside from our own that we will never get to hear. I've been a HONY fan from the beginning and am continuously grateful for the reflection and enrichment their posts and books give to me.

The only thing better than this book is the person who gave it to me :)

This was incredible. Each page had a single photo along with a deeply personal thought that provides a window into the lives of human beings around the world. This really moved me in ways that's hard to describe. It's a very honest look at what it means to be human---a lot of that is unfortunately pain. Highly recommended.

This was a heavy read. Brandon decided to make this book about all the _humans_ over the world and I dare say he succeeded. I really loved the struggles section.

Einmal um die Welt Menschen treffen.
In dieser Sammlung tut man genau das. Brandon Stanton trifft Menschen aus einigen Teilen der Welt (USA, Bangladesh, Polen, Deutschland, Nigeria, Ghana, Kanada, Ägypten, Japan usw). In kurzen Abschnitten erzählt jeder ein prägendes Ereignis, etwas was die Person beschäftigt und wird mit einem Foto im Buch verewigt. Sehr viele Emotionen werden transportiert und es berührt und inspiriert einen sehr.

A great big coffee table book. If I owned it and had a coffee table I'd dip into it every so often and it'd take years to get through. But as a library book I (have to)(get to) read it through in a timely manner.
Which makes for a much bigger impact.
These stories often move me. Not always negatively, of empathy for the narrator's hardships, but sometimes of joy when, for example, two self-aware old ladies admit to getting together regularly to judge people and complain about things.
The children. Omg how does Stanton get this stuff out of them? No, don't tell me, don't pull back the curtain, I like the magic. But my perspective that children should not be underestimated is affirmed again and again.

One thing that he claims is 'randomness.' I understand the point of the essay in which he claims that, because he's contrasting his efforts to talk to ordinary ppl with most media's efforts to find the most dramatic or exciting image. He's right to point out that most media misleads, because most people are relatively happy or content most of the time... many Pakistanis have thanked him for showing the good side of their country.
However, it's important to also remember that there's no way these are actually random. For one, he spends very little time in the US beyond NYC, nothing rural, and I suspect that other countries are represented in this sort of proportion, too. For another, he was only able to talk to people who were willing to talk to him. For yet another, he was only able to approach people who were out-of-doors, and there are lots of people who don't spend any time outside hanging out.
So, these aren't representative of humanity, or of nations or of cultures... but they do provide a sort of sample of what potentially speaks of us as well as what speaks to us.
And that's the point. These snapshot interviews & photos do speak powerfully, and that's the bottom line, that's the reason I hope your library has a copy of this that you can spend at least a couple of hours with.

He does admit that the first question of each interview is always "What's your greatest struggle right now?" He says this is the way to reveal how we are all connected. And that it's the way to get at the person's story, to make the next "hundred" interview questions get into the person, beyond the small talk and to the confessional, I guess. Well, I don't think that's so great. It does mean that most of what he gets is tear-jerking, much more than what needs to be effective.
More pages need to be about joy and contentment, because not everyone has a "great struggle right now." I mean, some pages are just nice and happy, but even those seem melancholy anomalies in context of all the other pages. And besides which, he surely didn't interrogate every subject at such length, nor did he only include subjects that he did have such long interviews with, I don't think. I'm not sure how many of these ppl that I 'met' had that kind of desire to share all.
Well. I guess I overshared. Or else rambled. Whatever.
But I'm very glad I did spend time w/ every page of the book, because I love the mother and toddler daughter dressed and made up to look like Frida Kahlo. Terrific luck he found them.

The concept of this may seem silly and simple but it is so beautiful and inspiring.
Reading people’s accounts of different aspects of their lives was so entertaining and thought provoking.
Some were funny, some were sad, some were inspiring, some were relatable and some were very different to what I think but I guess that’s the point of it all. It was about our shared experiences as humans in the 21st century.

I truly enjoyed these stories from around the world. This 437 pg book reads very quickly as most stories are just a paragraph or two. I follow HONY on FCBK and always look forward to the posts. 4 stars

What a wonderful book this was and a genius idea. Loved reading it, the photography was amazing and the stories a good balance of human experience and emotion. Parts were heartbreaking, parts inspiring, parts funny and parts thought provoking. People really are interesting and surprising. A strong five stars!

This latest title in the bestselling photojournalistic series by Brandon Stanton is definitely, as the song goes, "What the World Needs Now" in our very much splintered society. What jumps out at you about this stunningly expansive collection is how quickly you forget what race or ethnicity or age the subjects are; instead, you get caught up in their commonality, laid bare and shared generously with the rest of us. "I always begin with a struggle," explains author Brandon Stanton about the subjects he approaches randomly on the streets from Berlin to Bogota, and they respond to his openness with enthusiasm. With surprising candor and an economy of words, these humans expose their loneliness, disappointments, fears, and other vulnerabilities even more readily than their triumphs and celebrations--there are no whitewashed Facebook-esque images here. I found myself pausing after reading some of the more heartbreaking capsulized life stories here to return to the accompanying photos, to see whether there was a glint in the eyes or a set to the face to assure me that that individual would make it through their struggle, somehow. We are all works in progress, surely. Bibliotherapy for our fractured times.

rereading bc i love this book so so much
- I love getting a tiny glimpse into the inner lives, struggles, and happiness of people around the world; it helps show us that at the end of the day, no matter everyone's differences, there are universal themes that everyone is experiencing/working towards/being challenged with and no matter what you are going through, chances are you are not alone; also reading this book makes me feel like I'm traveling the world vicariously
also this book highlights people of all different socioeconomic backgrounds, which definitely reminds me to stay appreciative of what I've been blessed with in life and to continue to give back and just consider others with grace
overall such a wholesome book

January 9, 2021I don’t want to give this book an official rating, probably because it isn’t just one story. It’s everyone’s story. Whether or not you follow “Humans of New York” on social media, this book is still more than worth your while. It reminds us how unique we are. It shows us how alike we are. It has stories that are horrifying and inspiring. Stories that make you angry, sympathetic and overwhelmed. Brandon Stanton has a gift for photographing people and writing their stories. I loved it.

Emotional roller coaster
There have been stories that made me cry, laugh, giggle, suckle, chuckle and more. I haven’t felt these many emotions in such a short time.
In addition to the all the stories of humans across the world, Brandon adds snippets about his process of meeting people and getting them to share the most vulnerable part of their lives with him. His wisdom was something I also quite appreciated about this book.

A little too sad for 2020, unfortunate timing.. We have enough heavy stuff going on...

You look into the eyes. You look at the posture. The hands. The feet. Whatever they allow us to see. And read the words they share. Incredibly intense. From the one-sentence stories to the 3-page ones. The perfect editing - it is quite extraordinary, if you think about it, how placing two stories side by side multiplies their effect and creates something more than either of the stories could convey by themselves. And Brandon sharing his thoughts about the process, about what connects us all, from every part of the world, us, humans. Just perfect.
P.S. In case you are not familiar with his Facebook page Humans of New York, go, check it out. There is an incredible community there, jumping to help whenever they can. Restores your faith in humanity instantly.

Read this gem only in two days. We need more people like Stanton; willing to learn to understand and listen more. A book that open my perspective on other people’s live whose very colorful, unique and heart-touching. I’ve learned a lot. Happiness is simple for them.

I will never tire of these. I am so fascinated by books that can so perfectly encompass the human experience that I have an entire bookshelf devoted to them, and this one earned its place on that shelf.
For fans of StoryCorps, and for fans of humans in all their many iterations.

is this best book of the year? This is an open book into people's fears, regrets, aspirations. It's a masterstroke of genius on the author's part to lead an exchange with the question, "what are you currently struggling with?", thus presenting an open invitation for a confession or introspection that is cathartic for both the interviewee and the reader of this book.

This heavy, hardcover book collects many of the most moving and interesting images and stories from the Humans of New York Facebook page. Brandon Stanton incorporates photography and interview content from New York and from his global travels, and shares some about his experiences and approach methodology in short reflections before some of the sections. I really enjoyed this, and it was fun to see things that were familiar to me from following the Facebook page, along with other pictures and stories that I either didn't remember or never saw.
Fans will enjoy this published collection, and it's also great for people who don't follow the page, and who would prefer to encounter stories like these in printed form. The book includes all kinds of people, representing a variety of life situations, interests, personalities, religions, nationalities, triumphs, and struggles. Like all of Stanton's work, this book reminds readers to see the humanity and dignity of every person, regardless of their social status or identity.
