Enjoy Your Cake And Share It Too! by Dan Klusmann is a humorous and knowledgeable book with quotes, anecdotes, stories, inspirations, and tidbits. There are also some photos and animations that you can look at to go along with it all. 

Some of the stories are:
Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, The List, An Exceptional Golfer, How to Decide Who to Marry According to Kids, The Man Rules, Old Guy and a Bucket of Shrimp, Seventeen Inches of Accountability, A Dog’s Purpose, The Story of Faith, Childhood Words of Wisdom, etc.

Some of my favorites are Old Guy and A Bucket of Shrimp, The List, and Seventeen Inches of Accountability. Eddie Rickenbacker was a famous hero in WWII. His plane went down with seven other crew members into the Pacific Ocean. They floated for days on a raft, fighting off sharks, the brutal sun, and severe hunger. After their rations had run out, the men prayed for a miracle. Deciding to take a nap, Eddie pulled his cap over his head to try to go to sleep. A seagull landed on his head on top of his cap. He was able to grab it, wring its neck, pluck it, and feed the eight men. They used the intestines for bait and were able to catch fish, and they used the fish guts as bait, too. Did the men survive the ordeal of being adrift at sea?

The List was about a teacher who asked her students to write down all of the names of the children in the classroom and say something nice about each one. The teacher listed each student on a piece of paper and what the others had said about them. On Monday, she passed out the papers to each student. They never talked about this lesson again. Years passed, and one of the students was killed overseas, and the teacher attended his funeral. The former student's father said that his son talked often of his teacher. Why? What did that list have to do with anything years later? Why did his son talk so highly of the teacher?

I really enjoyed this book, and there was nothing that I found to disagree with. Some of the passages were sad and made you think, but most of them were humorous and made you laugh out loud. It made my day to read these stories, and I also learned a lot of things from them, such as Word History, where I learned the history of some common words. It’s a light-hearted book to read when you just need something to cheer you up, so I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars because it made me feel good.

Thanks for a nice review. You have very well brought out the gist of the book. I prefer to read collection of stories, anecdotes etc rather than voluminous novels.
