Act yourself into feeling
Have you heard of a fear cycle? If you haven't, I suggest you take a look at a book Failing Forward from John C. Maxwell. It is a captivating reading right from the start. He talks about a conception of failure throughout the book. In the preface he explains that the right attitude about failure is an essential part of an achiever.
In the fourth chapter, he describes the fear cycle. The fear cycle begins with a fear of failure which is usually caused by negative experiences. The fear of failure leads to inaction that is, according to the author, recognized by paralysis, procrastination and purposelessness. Inactivity produces inexperience by not doing anything essential to our success. The lack of experience promotes inability to act which again induces fear of failure.
To break the fear cycle, you need to take action. He also includes a quote by Jerome Bruner saying: "You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action." What Bruner meant by this is one shouldn't wait for motivation, but rather act first. Then the motivation comes.
Please, include your overall impression of the text and don't be afraid to point out that something doesn't feel right or could be said differently despite it being correct.

Good job, I think you have a very good understanding of the English language. There's not many mistakes in this piece, a few gramatical errors here and there but nothing major. I have corrected some sentences to show another way in which those things could be said.

On the whole this is well done, and that sounds like an interesting book. You have a few syntactic errors, which I've fixed. Beyond that I think the main thing that could be improved is reducing some of the repetition you have. For example, you have "He describes the fear cycle. The fear cycle begins..." and "The cycle begins with a fear of failure... The fear of failure leads". This makes it feel a little repetitive. I've corrected some of that to show how it can be better done. Aside from that, you have a number of complex sentences which are perfect in form and sound natural to a native speaker. That is something to be proud of. I hope this helps!

Oh, I missed one. In your first sentence you should change "look at a book" to "look at the book". Since you're talking about a particular book you need to use "the". Or you could say "look at a book called", instead. There you refer to an anonymous book and follow it by giving the name. Either is fine.

Thank you for the correction, I greatly appreciate it.
Originally, instead of conception I meant to say perception. Now it sounds comical if I think about it.
The feedback helps a lot! Next time I'll try to avoid the mistakes you pointed out.
