For a book around this, I would recommend Scout Mindset by Julia Galef, which close to a self-help-type book but still highly informative while still being digestible. From the ACX review [1]:
> Of the fifty-odd biases discovered by Kahneman, Tversky, and their successors, forty-nine are cute quirks, and one is destroying civilization. This last one is confirmation bias - our tendency to interpret evidence as confirming our pre-existing beliefs instead of changing our minds.
I certainly agree with the premise that there is a deep epistemic flaw in the nature of our reasoning that we can counteract with conscious intervention, such as your suggestion.
