The result is to empower us to understand ourselves and step up if we have what it takes to lead--or find equally rewarding, often superior, ways to achieve fulfillment if we don't.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Elias Aboujaoude\u003c\/b\u003e is a psychiatry professor, researcher, and author at Stanford University, where he heads the Anxiety Disorders Section and OCD Clinic.
