It depends on how much background you have in mathematics. There is a lot of popular garbage out there that contorts certain theories of physics for grandiose statements about the human condition or mind. Most of it gibberish.
A fun sort of intro is the "How to teach X to your dog" because most of the weirdness of modern physics stems from Quantum Mechanics (and Relativity and the nuclear force). So, this book for example, written by a physicist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Teach-Quantum-Physics-Your/dp/1851687793
A little bit denser but more on the cosmogolical scale of things is Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.
You have to give some sense of what you are willing to invest here. Physics is not easy, and popular science is generally quite vapid.
This. It's an amazing book that if you want to explore the basic concepts within quantum physics, you can easily grasp them without any prior knowledge.
