The Death of Mr. Me: Overcoming the Victim Mentality

What if the greatest obstacle to your freedom isn’t your past… but your mindset?

In The Death of Mr. Me, Joel Shunmugam confronts one of the most destructive attitudes quietly shaping modern life—the victim mentality.

Drawing from his powerful personal journey from addiction to transformation, Joel reveals how the inner voice of “Mr. Me” keeps people trapped in blame, excuses, and self-centered thinking. Through honest stories, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, he challenges readers to confront the patterns that hold them back and embrace a life of responsibility, humility, and spiritual growth.

Having entered Teen Challenge Singapore in 1992 as a broken young man struggling with addiction, Joel experienced the life-changing power of Christ that reshaped his identity and future. Today, as a leader in addiction recovery ministry, he helps others walk the same path toward freedom.

This book will help you:

The Death of Mr. Me is not about losing yourself—it’s about discovering the life God intended all along.

Because when Mr. Me dies… a new life begins.
