How to use <ce a quoi>
Hi, I'm learning French these days, and I learn this phrase from my french grammar book.
The example sentence is like this:
Ce à quoi il pense est très intéressant. [ce a quoi = quoi?]
Could you please tell me the meaning of {ce a quoi}? A few examples would be nice :D
Are there any similar expressions?
Thank you in advance!

"Ce à quoi" is use to point something, like "what I mean", "what he does", "what they're thinking" .
Today, lot's of people use "ce dont" or "de quoi" in a similar way. Like "ce dont-il parle" ("what he's talking about").

Ce à quoi + sujet + penser, c'est....
Ce à quoi tu penses, c'est (à) sa santé = What you're thinking about is his health.
Tu penses à sa santé = You're thinking about his health
Using "Ce à quoi" means you stress the topic of thought, rather than the fact you are thinking.

In French "quoi" alone would not work in that sentence (even though in English it would). It would make the sentence sound like a question. To avoid that, by adding "ce à quoi" it becomes sort of "that of which he's thinking".
- à quoi penses-tu? (notice that even in the question, there is this "weird" but necessary à)
- Les vacances, la mer... oui, c'est ce à quoi je pense....
- Non, ce à quoi tu penses c'est le bar à volonté sur la plage !
