Today’s the Day: The Revised Edition of Lifeonomics: Breaking Free of Worry and Regret Is Here!
Good morning, friends.
If you’ve ever caught yourself lying awake at night replaying the past or spinning endless “what if” scenarios about the future, you’re not alone. Most of us spend far too much time trapped in worry (obsessing over a future we can’t control) or regret (obsessing over a past we can’t change).

Today, that cycle can start to break.
I’m thrilled to announce that the Revised Edition of Lifeonomics: Breaking Free of Worry and Regret by Rob Holdford is officially out now. This isn’t just another self-help or personal finance book. It’s a practical, holistic guide that puts money in its proper place—as life’s fuel (about 10% of the equation)—while focusing 90% on what really matters: human nature, purpose, conscious choices, and living fully in the present moment.
Why Lifeonomics Is Different
Traditional economics is about managing money. Lifeonomics is about managing life—your most precious, finite resource.
The book redefines wealth across four dimensions: Intrinsic Wealth (who you are), Relationship Wealth (who you share life with), Financial Wealth (the fuel), and True Wealth (the quality of your moments).
At its heart, Lifeonomics asks a powerful question:
“What would you change in your life if you weren’t worried that you might regret the decision?”
Through clear frameworks, real-life stories, and actionable tools, Rob shows us how to break free from the chains of worry and regret so we can live with greater peace, presence, and purpose.
What You’ll Discover Inside the Revised Edition
The book is structured into three powerful parts:
• Part 1: What Controls Your Life?Learn what you can actually control (your thoughts, words, and actions—only in the present moment), how to break free from codependency, and why obsessing over the uncontrollable is futile.
• Part 2: The Four LsMaster the transformative L Steps Protocol:
• Let It Be — Face facts without judgment and practice compassionate detachment.
• Learn From It — Build Systems, Strategies, and Structures to adapt and grow.
• Let It Go — Release guilt and regret (think “catch and release,” not “catch and carry”).
• Live Now — Train your attention to stay in the present and create exponentially fulfilling moments (Living Life²).
• Part 3: Planning for TomorrowAssemble your Life Team, create a meaningful Life and Legacy Plan, and design a future where work becomes optional and your legacy reflects your deepest values.
You’ll also find the Ten Agreements that form the foundation of Lifeonomics, daily check-in practices, a full 52-week curriculum for building lasting habits, worry/regret inventories, the “Triple C Challenge” (no criticizing, condemning, or complaining for 7 days), and even a powerful “Burn Regrets” ritual.
The approach is holistic—integrating Mind (mindfulness and optimism), Body (habits and routines that reduce decision fatigue), and Spirit (purpose, integrity, and faith—presented in an inclusive, non-preachy way).
Who This Book Is For
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed by “what ifs,” or ready to stop letting past mistakes or future fears steal your peace—this book is for you. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent, someone navigating a major life transition, or simply craving more presence and fulfillment, the Revised Edition delivers clear, warm, and immediately applicable guidance.
It’s not about quick fixes or motivational fluff. It’s about building simple, repeatable systems that help you live more intentionally—starting today.

A Final Thought from Lifeonomics
“People don’t decide their futures—they decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures" - F.M. Alexander
And “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”
The choice is ours—every single day.
Here’s to breaking free, living now, and creating a life you truly love.
Welcome to Lifeonomics.
