From the CarGuru/Life coach: My secret to a fulfilling life (that really isn't a secret)....this is how I found it, and you can too.
About this episode
Attitude isn’t treated like a mystery—it's framed as a practical choice that shapes how you handle criticism, work, and even driving stress. The host ties “thermostat vs. thermometer” to responding instead of reacting, then connects it to real moments: being called out for talking over people and learning about undiagnosed ADD at 68. Along the way, they share a 1% vs 10% mindset, mentor questions, and coaching advice like avoiding car purchases based only on monthly payments.

monthly payment
"They might be driving the wrong car and they may have paid too much. They might have bought a car just based on the monthly payment, which is the worst thing in the world."
The “monthly payment” is what you pay every month to pay off the car. The point here is that buying based only on that number can make you spend more overall or end up with a bad choice.
“Monthly payment” is the amount you pay each month to finance a car purchase. The host argues that focusing on monthly payment instead of the total cost can lead people to overpay or choose the wrong car.
