“In this book, Jack London’s message is one that I’ve certainly found to be true throughout my life – that character not only determines our values, but what we value. London skillfully maps character to the attitudes, choices, and actions taken in overcoming obstacles and attaining goals. I have seen this book’s powerful lessons in action – and they make all the difference!”


Colonel Lee Ellis, USAF (Ret.)

Leading with Honor

Former Vietnam Prisoner of War “In writing Character: The Ultimate Success Factor, Jack London has made a tremendous contribution for all of us who desire to live and lead better through stronger character. Jack believes (as I do) that we must always be sharpening the saw by clarifying who we are and what values we are committed to upholding. He lays out why character is important and then walks the reader through the process of overcoming the challenges we will face in our leadership journey. Having good character is, after all, not only the starting point, but also the ultimate success factor for all areas of our lives. Hats off to Jack for bringing us this great work. I’ll highly recommend it to my clients and all who seek to become better leaders.”

The Heroic Story of the First American Shot Down Over North Vietnam

Former Vietnam Prisoner of War “Reading London’s book, my thoughts went back when we were shot down and captured in Vietnam. In shock, alone, in pain from injuries, we were cut off from the world we knew – our squadron mates, our friends and family, our country. In these circumstances, what was unique among most of the individuals there was the innate realization that something within was going to have to surface in order to be able to survive. What mattered most in those cells in Hanoi, was the need to maintain and hold on to those basic principles of the American warrior – patriotism, integrity, faith – in country as well as in each other, and in our God…and character.”
