Johnson wrote the book "Yes" or "No": The Guide to Better Decisions (1992).
He co-authored the One Minute Manager series of books with management writer Ken Blanchard, though each author has added their own books to the series.
Johnson's last book, Out of the Maze, is a sequel to Who Moved My Cheese that references Johnson's struggle with cancer (which ultimately ended with his death in 2017) and was published posthumously in 2018.[7]
Johnson's books have been translated into twenty-six languages.[8]
