    Philosophy for Dummies, Tom Morris, is one of the best books for your purposes.

    Also worthwhile, in metaphysics/theology:

    The Path of the Higher Self, Mark Prophet

    Man, Master of His Destiny, Omraam Aivanhov

    Kundalini West, Ann Ree Colton

    To begin with - in order to understand philosophy you have to understand mankind. I would start with "The Naked Ape," by Desmond Morris and go from there.
