What she talks about at the end, filtering out information, is also called confirmation bias: you unintentionally, or intentionally, filter out information that contradicts your, oftentimes emotional, bias.
An interesting book on this and other thinking mistakes we are prone to is "Don't Believe Everything You Think" by Thomas Kida
Summary: Rational thinking does not actually exist in humans (for the reasons, read the article).

Meta-Summary: So basing things on rational thinking, and excluding everything else can lead to false conclusions, because it's not possible for a human to actually do that. It's better to explicitly include the non-rational elements, so at least your confidence measure of a conclusion is accurate.

Should be renamed "Why what most people call rational thinking isn't really rational thinking"
