A Journey from Inner Crack to Alignment
"I am grateful for this coincidence—for discovering your work and the impact you create for others. Your book is not just a summer read; it's a guide for now and always. As you say, we are in continuous change if we choose it. When we first connected, I expressed some negative thoughts. I realize now they stemmed from a deep inner crack I was experiencing. A word from our conversation stayed with me: passion. I began to understand that passion—or the lack of it—is at the root of what I've been experiencing. It revealed a deeper truth: a lack of alignment within myself.But here's what moved me most: recognizing that we are the real challenge. This idea stirs me deeply. I can't fully explain it, but your thoughts arrived at exactly the right moment. And knowing I'm not alone in this journey—that's what makes all the difference. Your book will be my beginning. Not an easy one, but a real one. I'm actively rewiring many known and unknown thoughts—thoughts I didn't even know I had. I'm seeking professional direction, becoming more open to guidance, and most importantly, I'm doing this work knowing I'm not alone. That changes everything. Thank you for keeping that door open."

What Are You Thinking? The New Standard in Mindset Awareness for Professionals is a practical, honest, and thought-provoking guide to understanding how your thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions shape your life, your performance, and your internal world.
Written by Richard Crimi, the book ‘s message extends far beyond any one profession. At its heart, the book is about learning to observe your thoughts, challenge outdated internal patterns, and reclaim the power of awareness that so many people have lost without even realizing it.
This is not a surface-level positive thinking book. It is a call to become the conscious architect of your inner world. Through personal stories, real-world scenarios, mindset principles, and reflective insight, Richard walks the reader through the connection between thoughts, emotions, identity, perception, stress response, leadership, gratitude, and personal transformation. The book explores how unseen thought patterns influence everyday decisions, emotional reactions, confidence, team culture, and long-term well-being.
What makes this book different is its combination of lived experience and deep practical relevance. Richard writes not just from study, but from having walked through pain, loss, identity collapse, and rebuilding. The result is a book that is grounded, relatable, and deeply useful for those who want to stop merely surviving and start mastering the mind that shapes everything.
For readers ready to become more aware, more intentional, and more mentally strong, What Are You Thinking? offers a new standard; one built from within.
