Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky, it is a book that explains a lot of human behavior (it's soo complicated) and as I went reading a lot of "clicks" happened in my mind of why some people do what they do.

There's a 25-part lecture series by Sapolsky on Human Behavioural Biology. Evolution, how genes work, how brains work, how emotions work etc. He's a great storyteller, very funny, apparently kind and considerate, and knows his stuff. What an amazing course. No prerequisites, I think anyone could understand and enjoy it. My very unsciency girlfriend adored it too.
