<b>Alain de Botton - The consolations of Philosophy</b>
Practical examples of how philosophy can be applied to your daily problems.
<b>Bertrand Russell - Russell on Religion</b>
A collection of essays, where the well-known atheist explains his reasons for being an atheist.
<b>Cynismes - Michel Onfray</b>
(French, translated into beautiful Dutch. Might be available in English too.)
A book about "cynical" philosophers, such as Diogenes. And this means cynical in the original meaning: dog-like, animalistic and especially down-to-earth. Onfray is funny, and either he, or the translator, is a genius with words - it's a joy to read. If you can get it, that is.
