For Bookstores & Buyers
What started as a simple note to his team became a WSJ bestselling book that has helped thousands of readers start each week with intention, clarity, and purpose.
Inquire About Carrying This BookThe Story
Chris Masiello didn't set out to write a bestseller. He was running a company, leading a team, and trying to show up as his best self every week. So he started writing. Every Monday morning, he sent a short note — one idea to carry into the week ahead.
His team looked forward to it. Then their families started asking for it. Then strangers. What began as an internal memo quietly became a movement.
"I just wanted to give people something worth thinking about on Monday. It turns out that's what a lot of us are missing."
— Chris Masiello
"If you are asking yourself, 'why does this keep happening to me?' or you're generally feeling stuck, I invite you to partake in the wisdom and insight of Christopher Masiello."
Mindful Mondays is the book that grew from that practice — 52 short chapters, one for each week of the year. Each one built around a single insight, a story, and a question worth sitting with. It's the kind of book readers come back to, share with their teams, and give as gifts.
It hit the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller lists not because of a splashy launch — but because readers kept telling other readers about it.
The Author
Chris is the founder and CEO of MFC Investments, a real estate and financial services firm. He built his career in an industry that often moves fast and forgets people — and he chose a different path.
For over a decade, he's been writing, speaking, and leading in ways that put human flourishing first. Mindful Mondays is his most personal work — drawn from the lessons he's learned building companies, raising a family, and trying to live with intention.
He lives in New Hampshire and is currently filming a 52-episode video series based on the book, releasing through 2026.
The Movement
This isn't a one-read book. Readers buy it, start on a random Monday, and find something useful every time. It has become a go-to gift — for new managers, graduating seniors, friends starting something new.
"What began as a pandemic-era initiative to support his employees has evolved into a compelling guide for personal growth. Through a blend of psychological principles, scientific research, and personal anecdotes, Masiello creates an accessible roadmap for transformation. His practical approach to mindset transformation avoids quick fixes in favor of sustainable personal development — making this book particularly valuable for professionals seeking to align their career aspirations with personal fulfillment. Highly recommended."
"Mindful Mondays is a great book for individuals or groups who are looking to improve their lives through the better use of time and being present in the moment. The strategies and ideas can be applied quickly and easily, and there are a variety of them to choose from."
The 52-episode video series currently in production — filmed with the same tone and warmth as the book — will drive ongoing discovery and bring new readers to stores throughout 2026.
In-Store
Chris is available for in-store events, signings, and community conversations. Here are a few ideas that have worked well for authors like him:
A short reading and Q&A built around a single chapter — perfectly sized for a weekday morning drop-in event. Coffee optional. Conversation guaranteed.
A 60-minute session for local business owners, managers, and team leads — practical, personal, and grounded in the ideas from the book.
With its consistent gifting pattern (graduation, leadership milestones, new year), Mindful Mondays performs well as a featured gift table title year-round.
As the 52-episode YouTube series rolls out through 2026, each episode drives readers back to the book. QR cards available for in-store display.
