Think: A Compelling Introduction to Philosophy
by Simon Blackburn
I've read an intro to philosophy book before but this was way better! Many illustrative examples, presenting the ideas rather than famous philosophers or brands of philosophy directly. And yet at the same time you do learn quite a bit about different philosophers and their roles in the history of philosophy!
The only thing I wasn't happy about is the last chapter "What to do" (aka ethics and stuff): it was quite chaotic and did not feel like it explained concepts in the right order/priority. The author themselves admitted that this is not the typical introduction to ethics.
Overall still my number one recommendation for friends so far to get a first glimpse at philosophy.
