World Changes
This is a tiny little book I found in a second hand shop for a few pence, and as I quite like Bertrand Russel just bought it on a whim.
You could really finish this over a cup of coffee, so it would be easy to go on about what's not in it. But it does capture a certain spirit. For a mathematician, I tend to think of him as essentially an ethical philosopher. In that he had an almost desperate faith in truth and beauty. This little book gives a real sense of his struggles with a massive body of work that never achieved what he wanted.
It does just cover the big issues of his philosophy, without touching on his politics or private life at all.
If this is something you might want to get into, this is as good a place to start as any.
