Take a peek at this digital portrait of the collective emotional landscape created by two whiz kids Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar who sift through blog posts for feeling words – more than 12 million feelings since 2005. Their book about the experiment is newly published, called We Feel Fine: An Almanac of Human Emotion. It contains the euphoria, the despair, the passion, the dreams, and the desires that make us human.

This is amazing! I think the
This is amazing! I think the title is really interesting: We Feel Fine...; I think a lot of people always respond with "fine" when asked how they are feeling just as an arbitrary answer. After working as a WINGSLeader, we stress to the kids to express their emotions and use a variety of emotion words to do so. Personally, I should use this advice because I always respond with "fine." This book shows the variety of emotions there are in human beings and that we should express those feelings!
JUST COOL - really cool
What an awesome post, Ginny. I have bookmarked and shared this website with everyone I know! The brainpower behind the "movements", as they are referred, is brilliant. I think what I appreciate the most is the proof this project provides that people are constantly expressing themselves and feeling things out. Emotions are powerful!
