"Man is not disturbed by events but by his opinion about events." Epictetus laid the foundation of cognitive reframing centuries before therapists had a word for it — it's never the thing that happens, it's the story you tell about it. Rendered in light italic serif on black with warm cream text and generous breathing room, this print is a steady daily nudge to check your reaction before you trust it. Fits beautifully in an office, therapy space, or anywhere you want a little perspective on the wall.

Part of the Bright Zebra Creative Philosophy collection — for the desk, the reading nook, or anywhere you want a daily nudge back to what actually matters.
