My Monster Mungo: A Story About Imposter Syndrome - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the voice in your head telling you you’re not good enough isn't an enemy — but rather a part of yourself that you can learn from?

My Monster Mungo: A Story About Imposter Syndrome is a picture book for adults where readers join Katy as she learns how to overcome her perfectionism with the help of her friends and Imposter Monster.

When Katy “blows” a presentation at work, she’s sure she’s doomed, until her friends reveal they all wrestle with similar doubts. That’s when Katy meets that unhelpful voice inside her head — her Imposter Monster, Mungo: a shaggy, sharp-toothed protector who means well… but keeps her small.

Over a weekend, Katy and Mungo explore what imposter syndrome really is, why it shows up, and how to work together instead of against one another. Mungo develops from a loud inner critic into a supportive sidekick. Along the way, readers meet diverse characters — each with their own Monster — who reveal how widespread these feelings are and how identity, culture, and expectations shape them.

This relatable story introduces readers to:

• Dr. Valerie Young's Five Types of Imposters

• Research-based strategies to reframe self-doubt and celebrate success

• Practical ways to work with imposter feelings instead of being ruled by them

With an Author’s Note, discussion questions, and further reading, this short but high-impact book is a perfect guide for students, professionals, and anyone who has ever felt like a fraud. Recommended for ages 15+.
