That's hilarious! I was assigned "Emotional Intelligence" by one of my profs before we had a chance to sit down to discuss my thesis. After the "negotiation" which took place in regards to the content and potential edits, EM was withdrawn as an assignment. I still listened to the book on Audible though, and it was an interesting read. Not sure I agreed with much of it, but it did have an interesting insight on the subject. Sure beat the hell out of 7 Habits of Highly Defective People.
