ELEVATE YOUR LIFE WITH THE JOY ALGORITHM
What if joy wasn’t something to chase, but a tool you could activate anytime?
In this inspiring TEDxCincinnati talk, Allegra Cohen shares how filtering for micro-JOYs® can reset your energy, strengthen your mindset, and reconnect you to what matters most.
Filmed live at TEDxCincinnati, Allegra Cohen reveals how joy isn’t a reward but a resource that helps us survive and keep going, no matter what life brings.
Dedicated to Sheinelle Jones, who shows us that choosing joy, even in grief, is the bravest act of love.
THE SCIENCE AND SOUL BEHIND THE JOY ALGORITHM
What if joy could be measured, practiced, and activated on demand?
In this talk, Allegra shares the foundation of The Joy Algorithm, a mindset shift that helps you find calm, clarity, and connection in every moment. Through her signature micro-JOYs® method, she shows how small, intentional moments of joy can rewire your brain for resilience and restore your energy when life feels heavy.
This is more than inspiration. It’s a practical guide to elevating your everyday life.
