Purpose is your reason for doing something. It gives you the game plan or map to helps you see when you got what you need. That's what makes it practical in real life. Identifying your needs.

Finish the sentence.

I want this information [insert what you are expecting to learn] so that I can.....

Then you have your purpose.

Next you look at your purpose and form mind probing questions that you want answered by the author.

No one can tell you your purpose because it's your reason for doing something.

My purpose? Give me the title of the book. No title = no book = no need for a purpose because there is no next step for me.
