Lifeonomics Offers Retirement Framework that Aligns Personal, Relational, and Financial Wealth
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.

SINGAPORE, Sep 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Tech Week Singapore 2026 returns to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 29–30 September 2026.

The 2026 edition is set to host over 600 regional and international speakers with special conference theatres.
“As AI moves from experimentation into enterprise operations, the question for technology leaders is no longer whether to adopt new systems, but whether the infrastructure beneath them is ready. Across Asia, that means focusing on the foundations required to scale responsibly, including resilient infrastructure, strong governance, sustainable usage of energy and the right technical capabilities,” said CloserStill Media’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Andy Kiwanuka. “Now in its 12th edition, Tech Week Singapore remains a major meeting point for the region’s technology ecosystem. With the launch of Tech Week Shanghai earlier this year, we are building on that foundation to extend these conversations across Asia, connecting government, enterprise leaders and the infrastructure ecosystem shaping the next phase of digital growth.”

The First Annual Prompty Awards to Celebrate the Best of AI-Assisted Fiction
New competition invites authors to submit AI-generated and AI-assisted novels across six genre categories, with a grand prize that includes a publishing deal
United States, 3rd Sep 2026 — The Prompty Awards, a new literary competition honoring fiction created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), officially opened for submissions today. The awards recognize writers who are using AI not as a replacement for creativity, but as a tool for expressing it. The competition is open to established novelists, first-time authors, and everyone in between.

The awards recognize fiction across six categories: Literary Fiction, Science Fiction, Mysteries & Thrillers, Speculative Fiction, Romance, and Historical Fiction. Judges will evaluate entries on originality, storytelling, character development, craft, imagination, and the effective use of AI as part of the creative process.
“The Prompty Awards are not about proving that AI can write fiction. We already know it can,” said Hugh Taylor, the awards’ organizer. “The interesting question is what writers can create with it. Great storytelling still requires imagination. That is what we are celebrating.”
Prizes
One work will be named the Prompty Awards Grand Prize Winner and will receive $1,000 in cash and a publishing deal with Apateon Press. Each of the six categories will also award a Gold winner, who receives $500, and a Silver winner, who receives $100, along with official recognition from the Prompty Awards.
How to Enter
Writers may submit AI-generated or AI-assisted fiction, including novels and novellas. The early bird deadline is November 1, 2026, with an application fee of $25. The final submission deadline is December 31, 2026, with an application fee of $40. Winners will be announced on April 1, 2027.
Submission guidelines, rules, and entry forms are available at promptyawards.com.
About the Prompty Awards
The Prompty Awards were created to recognize a new generation of storytellers exploring what fiction can become in the era of AI-assisted writing. The competition welcomes writers of every background and experience level, from traditionally published authors experimenting with new tools to first-time writers who found that AI helped them tell a story they had always wanted to tell.
