I met Mr Pineapple (aka French Canadian, Steve Mathieu) at the recent London Book Fair, attracted to his stand by a row of paper pineapples and a beaming smile from the man himself.

The man behind The Pineapple Theory(TPT) explains like this: ‘Theoretically, what if adding a pineapple to people’s life, leadership & business could assist living more “pineHapply”? Within you, there’s a seed for greatness, & it’s time for you to embrace the role that’s been given to you in life to make it bloom fruitfully!

The Pineapple Theory is an addition to ones’ life recipe – moving positivity forward with intelligence, reasoning & fruitful philosophy, by sharing fresh life & leadership principles, cultivating a growth mindset. Always moving forward in life, reaching new heights, like the gift of your own self-growth transformation.

Always work to achieve happiness, always work to remove misery, that’s upon yourself & it will define your character & fate. You will always harvest what you plant. The pineapple fruit is a metaphor & symbol of positivity, making your experience more fruitful.’

Now I’m all for more ‘pineHappily’, so I read Feel & Think Like A Pineapple. Did I feel pineHappily? Do I get TPT? Active syntax and literal translation needs careful study, so I’m back for a re-read.

To give Steve Mathieu credit where it’s due, he has written, edited and self published the TPT books. He’s clearly made a success of this and now travels the world promoting, smiling and keeping a pineapple close at hand!
