Lila Mosher appears in this catalogue as the author of The Handbook of Soft Skills for Hard Decisions, and she is a writer best introduced with restraint rather than manufactured detail. Authors of practical non-fiction often keep the spotlight on the material rather than themselves, and that restraint should not be mistaken for a lack of substance.
The title stakes out her territory precisely: the human side of decision-making – everything the phrase soft skills gathers up – applied to the moments when choices are hardest. And it promises a handbook rather than a lecture, which is the framing of a writer interested above all in being useful.
