I always recommend the book "Love and Math", by Edward Frenkel. The book is fairly approachable I think, and it mixes his own biography with examples of interesting math concepts and connections. Funnily enough, Frenkel works in the Langland program that Wiles talks about here, and explains a little bit more about it and why is it interesting. Also, I really like this quote from the article > Yes, some people are brighter than others but I really believe that most people can really get to quite a good level in mathematics if they're prepared to deal with these more psychological issues of how to handle the situation of being stuck. I foud this true in experience. Sometimes people find maths hard at the beginning because it's a different way of thinking, much more abstract, and you don't usually have an intuition when you start. But in the end, most of it is practice. Also, some things only click when you go back to them, or need them for more advanced concepts.
