Brand New Man: My Weight Loss Journey is the inspirational story of how Don McNay overcame a lifetime of morbid obesity to lose more than 110 pounds and achieve good health. McNay used the academic training, decades of experience and common sense wisdom that made him a world-renowned financial expert and devised a well-crafted weight loss plan that was implemented to perfection. Don drew upon communication skills honed as an award-winning syndicated columnist and best-selling author to tell the story in a brutally honest and riveting manner. With practical advice, exhaustive research and cultural references that range from world history to rock and roll, McNay tells a story that motivates, educates and inspires people to action. Brand New Man has been called "the best book ever written by a weight loss patient," but it is more than a weight loss book. It is about using business skills and systematic planning to take on any major issue. It is a book about finding the confidence and enthusiasm to overcome obstacles. It is a book about how to assemble a "dream team" of advisors and draw inspiration from heroes who battled similar demons. It is a book about drawing upon dogged determination to fight back to the top. The Don McNay Reality Show sections are a candid depiction of how the 55-year-old man obtained and recovered from weight loss surgery, lost 100 pounds, started participating in 5K races and became a CrossFit devotee. It is a must read for anyone thinking about weight loss surgery. Readers of Huffington Post know that McNay challenges the privileged and powerful and his insights on the economics of obesity do just that. The section "How I Got Fat (In Four Hundred Words)" draws inspiration from singer Jimmy Buffett and is entertaining for Parrotheads and non-Parrotheads alike. Although documented with over 40 pages of bibliography and footnotes, Brand New Man reads like a novel with a happy ending. McNay takes us on his journey with the gusto and enthusiasm that made his weight loss journey a success. "A must read for anyone interested in the obesity epidemic" -Gary Rivlin, author of Katrina: After The Flood, selected as one of 2015 most notable books by the New York Times. "Don has made himself into a brand new man but retained his impressive intelligence, integrity and writing skills." -Moon Landrieu, former member of President Jimmy Carter's cabinet and former Mayor of New Orleans

Life Lessons from the Lottery: Protecting Your Money in a Scary World By best-selling author, Huffington Post Contributor and syndicated columnist Don McNay, CLU, ChFC, MSFS, CSSC The world is an increasingly complicated place, but one rule has held true for centuries: People who have financial security control the destiny of people who don't. People who are financially secure live longer and healthier lives. They have the freedom and independence to pick what they want to do for a living, where they want to live and to create a financial legacy for their families and causes they support. So why do so many people who "have it made" run through their money and wind up broke? Why do the majority of lottery winners, injury victims, professional athletes and people who receive an inheritance run through it all so quickly? A better question: How do you keep it from happening to you? How do you protect your retirement, injury settlement or inheritance in a way that will keep you financially secure for life? In his fourth book, best-selling author and financial guru Don McNay offers concrete solutions to those questions. McNay draws upon his internationally recognized expertise on what to do when you win the lottery and his 30 years experience as a structured settlement consultant to show people how money can provide them with happiness, security and peace of mind. Although McNay has a strong academic background with two master's degrees and four financial professional designations, the book is written in a style that everyone can grasp and understand. He breaks the book into five sections, based on the five rules of thumb that he gave to lottery winners in his 2008 bestseller, Son of a Son of a Gambler: Winners, Losers and What to Do When You Win the Lottery. McNay said that his book is about financial freedom. "Real freedom means stability, security and independence," he said. "It means never running out of money. It means never having to work at a job you hate, because you can't afford to quit. It means never becoming a slave to your creditors. It means having control and stability in your life." Life Lessons from the Lottery: Protecting Your Money in a Scary World is the road map to finding that kind of freedom.
