We're talking about activating a book. I'm trying to help Anthony to define his purpose to help him activate the activation portion of the PhotoReading book. I know it's there because as he said he wouldn't have bought the course if he didn't have one.

Hey Alex,
But people are always talking about how they can read much more after Photoreading. You even said yourself, that your purpose was so that you'd be able to read 3 or 4 novels in a week instead of just 1, didn't you?
Yes we can read much more you might want to see my post on my blog yesterday about this.
Here I was pointing out the way the mind works and why we unwittingly stall ourselves in our goals. We say we want to do one thing and yet we don't look at the cost of making a change.
My personal purpose when I got the course was it gave me the opportunity to read three books a day instead of one. (I was already reading an average of three books a week and not getting anything useful from the exercise).
I had a problem and no one had a solution I figured the answer is out there in a book somewhere. However progress was slow so in learning PhotoReading I thought it would be cool if I could get through three books a day instead of just one I'd reach the finish line faster.
My purpose for learning PhotoReading was to see if I could learn how to get through a book faster so that I can find a solution to my problem.
Next I didn't care if PhotoReading worked or not I knew it's probably up to me one way or the other.

But, my question was, what if I'm given a book, that I have no purpose in photoreading. The book has no purpose to me. What do I do in that case?
If you have to read the book for school for example or the PhotoReading book to learn PhotoReading you must find a purpose.
What was my purpose for the PhotoReading book? To see if I can learn PhotoReading, so that I can improve my live by getting through more than one book a day.
