Preferment is Rarified Life’s active, purpose-driven alternative to retirement, taught live over eight weeks by Anne van Leynseele.
Purpose After Work considers it the most structured route we cover for high achievers asking who they are after work. It is built on Anne’s book Preferment and treats the end of a career as an ascension rather than an ending.
Each week builds on the last: a structured path, not a self-help pep talk. Homework consists of real exercises done between sessions. Support includes a structured intake process designed to keep the work on topic and customer service by phone, answered as soon as possible.
As of November 2026, the Preferment course page on rarifiedlife.com shows a store price of $6,000 and, in the course description, an investment of $3,000 for eight weekly live sessions with Anne, the book and the guided homework. Because the page shows both figures, confirm the current price on the course page or by contacting Rarified Life before enrolling.
The introductory presentation is free, with instant access after you register.
Where you are right now, and why the old model of retirement was never built for someone like you.
Separating who you are from what you did for a living.
Finding what actually moves you, now that a paycheck is not the reason.
Matching your values and strengths to how you will actually spend your days.
Building the structure that turns intention into a lived routine.
Naming your mission for this next chapter, and stepping into it.
Anne built and sold a production company in Los Angeles film and television, advised Fortune 100 companies on digital strategy across three continents, served as an Attorney Advisor in the Obama Administration and helped write the legal framework for recreational cannabis in Washington State.
She co-owns an award-winning chocolate farm on the Big Island of Hawaii and wrote the book Preferment, which the course is built on. Her approach comes from living four reinventions, not from theory.
Preferment is an active, purpose-driven alternative to retirement. It is taught as a live 8-week course by Anne van Leynseele, based on her book Preferment. Instead of treating retirement as an ending, it helps you shape a meaningful next chapter through six modules, from identity to launching your mission.

More answers in the FAQNo. Preferment is for people approaching or navigating life after a career. Starting while you are still working gives you time to rebuild your identity and test new interests before your last day, so the transition feels like a launch rather than a drop.
