Publisher's summary

This is a second and revised edition of "The Ethical Warrior: Values, Morals and Ethics - For Life, Work and Service," by Jack Hoban with new material on business ethics, police training, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Jack Hoban was shaped by service in the U.S. Marine Corps, a life-changing epiphany at a Cold War bar, and mentorship under two masters: The 34th generation grandmaster of the shadowy art of the Ninja and a sage of the Natural Law who may just have deciphered the meaning of life. He now delivers a revolutionary view of moral values for our time epitomized by the Ethical Warrior – protector of self and others as equal human beings. Hoban’s methodology reaches from the Greek ancients to the counterinsurgency efforts of today’s Marines to provide ethical clarity and confidence in our moral actions. Written as a companion to the actual training, The Ethical Warrior is of great value to those interested in living a balanced, happy, and ethical life. It addresses important questions such as:

• Is there a “true north” on the moral compass?
• Is there an objective value that can be used to qualify our relative values as moral or immoral?
• How do we reject our tendency to dehumanize others not of our “in-group” including our enemies – and respect true human equality?
• How do we do “the right thing” under the stresses of everyday life?

Hoban, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, is a long-time practitioner of martial arts who played a pivotal role in developing the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. He is a business entrepreneur and speaker who has conducted over 700 workshops and seminars worldwide, focusing on ethics, conflict resolution, and martial arts. His audiences have included universities, governmental bodies such as the Camden County Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the New York Police Department (NYPD), as well as various private organizations. Hoban collaborated extensively with Robert L. Humphrey, a renowned conflict resolution expert and author of “Values for a New Millennium.” Additionally, he holds the rank of master instructor in the Japanese Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu martial arts system.

What people are saying about the Ethical Warrior Training:"

• I recently listened to Jack Hoban's talk about the "Ethical Warrior/Protector" for one hour and 15 minutes. I honestly learned more about values, morals and ethics and their application, especially to law enforcement, in those 75 minutes than in my entire almost two decades of study." - Robert C. (Bob) Willis, Police Officer Survival Instructor
• "I came into this course thinking I would leave with the tools to become a better, more tactically sound, law enforcement professional. And while it is true that I am leaving more knowledgeable and better prepared to handle my day-to-day responsibilities, I'm also leaving a better person." - Michelle Irizarry, NYPD
• “Best single book I've ever read on ethics, and I've read a lot! This book and this man – take his seminar – will change your life.” – Steven Olsen, Professor of Leadership and Innovation
• A course which was initially approached with a little skepticism turned into arguably one of the best motivational seminars I have ever attended. Ethical training plus conflict resolution has a place not only in military and law enforcement but everyday life." – Brian McPherson, New Jersey State Police
• Being able to work with a group of adult men around issues like honor and courage is not something to which I can often avail myself." - Dr. John Kahler, M.D., HAITI MPHISE
• "Life changing. Prepares you to be a better person, leader and protector. The knowledge, experience and professionalism of the staff is unmatched." – Robert Monday, USMC officer and Martial Arts Instructor.
