EXPERT ALERTS:

Wonder Woman's Creator Was a Psychologist
Michael Klein
Psychologist
MK Insights LLC
Famed psychologist and Harvard alum Dr. William Moulton Marston was not only a consultant to the film industry and creator of "Wonder Woman," but also the father of a personality tool that explains how and why people communicate and behave in very specific and predictable ways. Says Klein: "Marston was a fascinating and accomplished scholar and psychologist. His book, 'The Emotions of Normal People,' launched an industry of personality profiling for business, counseling and myriad other applications. The tool generated by his work (the 'DISC') is second only to the MBTI (Myers Briggs) in popularity around the world."
Klein is a psychologist, author, and business consultant. His book, "Trapped in the Family Business," has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, and family business educational programs around the world.

How to Overcome Your Fear of Shark Attacks
Dr. Frieda Birnbaum
Research Psychologist, Psychoanalyst
"According to the International Shark Attack File, you're 30 times more likely to be killed by lightning than die from a shark attack. Because of the of the popularization of films like 'Jaws' and because the media tends to devote lots of coverage to shark attacks when they occur, one might conclude that these events happen much more frequently than they actually do. You should not be afraid to go into the water. Fear can be positive when it diverts us from engaging in a potentially dangerous activity, but fear can also be negative when it paralyzes us into engaging a pleasurable activity like swimming. If you do have a fear of water and you are afraid of sharks, it might be helpful to talk to both a counselor and even a marine biologist. You can utilize your fear as a motivational tool for education on this matter."
Based in the New York metro area, Dr. Birnbaum is author of "Life Begins at 60: A New View on Motherhood, Marriage, and Reinventing Ourselves." She's an expert on depression, women's issues, and attaining happiness.
