Self-Esteem, Shame, and Healing Identity in Adult ADD | Chapter 25 of Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté Welcome to Last Minute Lecture’s summary of Chapter 25 from Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Maté. This chapter explores the roots of self-esteem struggles in adults with ADD, showing that shame, perfectionism, and emotional repression—not just cognitive symptoms—drive feelings of inadequacy and identity loss.

Self-Esteem in ADD: Beyond Achievement and Approval Dr. Maté distinguishes between contingent self-esteem (rooted in external approval and achievement) and true self-esteem (based on unconditional self-acceptance). Adults with ADD often struggle to accept themselves, despite outward success, because their sens...

Bipartite Matching Algorithms — Hopcroft-Karp, Gale-Shapley & Hungarian Method | Chapter 25 in Introduction to Algorithms Chapter 25 of Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS) presents a rich collection of algorithms for solving matching problems in bipartite graphs. These problems involve pairing elements from two disjoint sets—such as jobs and workers or students and schools—based on constraints like maximum size, stability, or optimal assignment weights. This chapter explores the powerful Hopcroft-Karp algorithm for maximum matching, the Gale-Shapley algorithm for stable marriage problems, and the Hungarian algorithm for solving the assignment problem with weights. 📺 Watch the full podcast-style summary above, or continue reading for a complete breakdown of the key matching strategies, theorems, and complexity results introduced in Chapter 25. Maximum Bipartite Matching A matching is a set of edges with no shared vertices. In bipartite graphs, the goal is often to fin...
