The Consolations of Philosophy by De Botton, Alain. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780241140093.

A good introduction to philosophy and the great philosophers for young people, with a short biographical note, and an analysis of how they approached the major issues of life.

Partly a review of philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and partly a self-help book.
