The Preferment live course: what's included and what it costs

Last updated: November 2026

The Preferment live course is Anne van Leynseele's 8-week program, run by Rarified Life, with eight weekly live sessions, her book Preferment, and homework built into the book.

It is written for driven people who are done treating retirement like an ending. The course page puts the promise simply: "You don't need a five-year plan. You just need a room to start figuring it out in." Each week builds on the last, through six modules from Introduction to Launch.
