my guess is they’re trying to say “yourself and your purpose” but don’t get that “yourself” is a whole word, so there’s no “your” to be assumed to apply to “purpose”
Words are a writer’s primary tools, so it’s always fun when they can’t use them correctly and expect people to give them money anyway.

You know your book cover has been sabotaged when it looks like a hacker catted the passwd file to it.
I really don’t have to tell anyone here what this cover looks like it’s meant for, right? I mean….oish.
You do not. And also: ick.
Yeah, exactly. Man, that is some horrifying stuff and I wish to God I didn’t think it the moment I saw it.
