Here I am just wondering out loud: has anyone ever used separate purposes for various chapters of a book when the chapters are on vary diverse subjects?
It seems to me that your original purpose might be too broad. Could you set a more specific purpose for each chapter? For example, the purpose for the chapter on optimal health might be something like "I desire to learn and apply the concepts in this chapter to create an optimal diet and fitness program to benefit my life." Perhaps making it more specific and personal in this way might help. Let us know if this helps.
Last night I changed my purpose and that helped ALOT yet the purpose was still a bit broad in my opinion. Also there are a multitude of things I want to use the material for in that purpose. It seemed to gel a bit better in that I get overall concepts and basic understanding.
From the basic understanding from that last run of PR I would agree that the book is DENSE. It seems to me there are alot of elements in the text and it flip flops between them:
1. Basic understanding/terminology
2. Specific techniques
3. Adopting Certain Beliefs/Rules
4. Mind probing questions - Evaluations
6. Stories/Experiences
5. Exercises
It is not like he is outlining one specific storyline or just facts. You really have to engage in logic as well as imagination. When activating on that last run I found myself pondering/imagining. This happened twice. I didn't understand why I was pondering what I was but when I looked at the page I got the click. Of course it was in line with my new purpose..
Anyway...
I came here just to ask some questions and otherbrother beat me to it with the same questions! Kinda funny. I was also wondering if I could and should do each chapter with a more specific purpose pertaining to each chapter. Heck, I will give it a try just to see how much more I can pull from those chapters as there is a buch more in there I would love to discover. I will let you all know how it goes and what I did.
