Wisdom for those seeking more meaningful
lives, relationships, businesses, and communities
Assent means to agree with a thing. Epictetus is quoted as saying, “It is better by
assenting to truth to conquer opinion, than by assenting to opinion to be conquered by truth.”
When you are presented with information or “an impression” you must make a
judgement about it. There are only three options when assenting to “an impression”
– the first is that it is a correct impression and aligns with nature, second that it is
wrong and against nature, or third that not enough information is available to make
a judgement. When you incorrectly judge something, you cannot correctly
understand your desires from right and wrong, nor can you choose good and bad actions!
Assent Services’ purpose is to help you and your community properly assent and act in accordance with the good and natural laws of the world.

Why Choose Assent Services:
What drives value is the ability to see things for what they are. A different perspective can often see what is missing or what is often right under the surface.
What makes Assent Services different is that it recognizes the need to understand how the world really works, from a risk-taking perspective. What is under our control and not under our control? How should one adapt and change to mitigate risk and capitalize on opportunities?
Assent Services does not know all the answers. It is our willingness to tinker, to learn, to be foolish, adapt, and protect ourselves from fragility and failure that make us a good choice.
