The Friendship Effect

There has been a lot of writing on the value of good friends (watch this space for more of it), but some of my best insights have been uncovered in the awe-inspiring We Feel Fine. This online compendium of human emotions started in 2005, and ever since has been recording every feeling expressed online. It can tell us a lot about happiness, friendship and those around us. The image above is a selection of words which appear most commonly with "friend". Clearly friendship lies at the very heart of our well-being.
