The updated book by Rob Holdford, the veteran wealth advisor and life coach, shares insights into the philosophy of “True Wealth”
Little Rock, Arkansas, United States, 3rd Sep 2026 – Rob Holdford, the Arkansas-based wealth advisor and life coach, today announced the publication of an updated version of his book Lifeonomics: Breaking Free of Worry and Regret. Based on Holdford’s almost 40 years of experience working intimately with hundreds of families-often spanning multiple generations-the book focuses on the value of pursuing “True Wealth,” which is a framework for living a deeply fulfilling life by aligning personal, relational, and financial wealth.
“Over the course of my career, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern,” said Holdford. “Even clients with excellent financial plans can still be unhappy in retirement. It’s more common than most people realize. This observation led me to develop a holistic coaching methodology that helps address not just finances, but the internal obstacles, things like rumination, obsession with an uncontrollable future or unchangeable past, codependency, and a lack of presence. These factors can prevent people from truly thriving.”
Disappointment with retirement is emerging as a serious problem for older Americans. For example, a 2025 survey by Schroders found that 19% of retirees describe their experience as “struggling” or “living the nightmare,” while about a third of retirees do not feel happier in retirement compared to when they were working. Nearly three in ten retirees experience depression, a rate significantly higher than the general adult population.
Holdford tackles these challenges head-on in the book, sharing that while the financial side of retirement planning can be easy, most people haven’t figured out how they will enjoy spending their time. In the book, he advises prospective retirees to focus on what he calls “The 3 Ps”:
- People – the people who are truly important to you
- Passion – the things you’re excited and energized about
- Purpose – the sense of being called or led to something greater than yourself
Holdford was inspired to write Lifeonomics by the work of thought leaders like Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, and James Clear, author of Atomic Habits. Rob has developed a highly pragmatic, systems-based approach to what might otherwise be called mindfulness. His coaching emphasizes building structures, habits, routines, and accountabilities that help make a meaningful life automatic, not aspirational. As he put it, “I am a strong believer that managing one’s time, focus, and energy, i.e., ‘human bandwidth.’ is the key to experiencing life fully.”
Lifeonomics includes a notable chapter on financial codependency, a topic that Holdford believes is underexplored in both personal finance and self-help literature. This issue has resonated strongly with readers who are going through major life transitions, including health crises, retirement, family caregiving, and recovery from trauma.
