The Immutable Laws of Negotiation: A Strategic Approach to Dynamic Choice Architecture

You don’t win negotiations by talking louder.
You win by understanding the architecture of choice.

In this groundbreaking sixth installment of The Slippery Slope series, Dr. Buddy Thornton, renowned prosocial change agent and behavioral strategist, takes you deep into the dynamics of negotiation, where language, emotion, and power collide.

This is not a book on tactics.
This is a strategic blueprint for designing negotiations that create ethical, sustainable outcomes. Whether you're leading a team, managing conflict, closing deals, or navigating difficult relationships, this book reframes negotiation as an intentional, values-driven decision process.
Inside, you’ll learn:

The 7 Immutable Laws of Negotiation - non-negotiable principles for influence with integrity
How to apply Dynamic Choice Architecture to complex, high-stakes conversations
Why most negotiation fails before it begins (and how to avoid those traps)
The critical difference between influence and manipulation
How to negotiate with clarity, calm, and long-term purpose without compromising your values

This is negotiation redefined, for coaches, executives, educators, mediators, entrepreneurs, and anyone who’s ready to lead conversations that actually move the needle.

If Book five taught you how to choose,
Book six teaches you how to negotiate the world that resists your choices.
Includes chapter-level tools, frameworks, and reflection prompts for immediate real-world application.
