In her 2013 presentation for TEDxBoston on How Pancakes Can Make You Happier and Change the World,[3] she talks about the power of gratitude for the small, good moments we experience on a daily basis rather than any huge achievements.[4]

Kogan speaks and writes about emotional well-being,[5] emotional fitness, leadership, and happiness, as well as creativity[6] and overcoming burnout.[7] She is the creator of the Happier Method™,[8] which helps people improve their emotional fitness by improving five skills: gratitude, acceptance, self-care, intentional kindness, and what she calls the Bigger Why.[9]

She has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., Fast Company, and other national news outlets, and has appeared on CNBC, The Bloomberg Businessweek Podcast, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and on WGBH Boston Public Radio.
