What Is Mathematics? was the only one I was able to find from a local library. I’ve put a request in for it and I should be getting it soon. Thanks for the recommendation; if it helps me to not hate math then I might be able to do something actually useful for existential risk reduction.
Also, “What is Mathematics?” is more serious than the other two. “The Shape of Space” is probably the easiest and most fun, and “The Enjoyment of Math” is a collection of almost completely independent small pieces that don’t assume any background, but some of them are a bit involved for something that doesn’t assume any background.

These are available on Library Genesis.
