Frank About Health - Healthy Aging Through Creativity and Reinvention

Healthy Aging is living an engaged productive life motivated by will and not by the biological changes that occur as we get older. Learn how to remain engaged, independent and productive as each year progresses. A lawyer and former diplomat, Otho Eskin served in the U.S. Army and in the United States Foreign Service. He was Vice-Chairman of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, participated in the negotiations on the International Space Station, was principal U.S. negotiator of several international agreements on seabed mining and was the U.S. representative to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Eskin is active in the Washington theater scene and is a playwright whose work has appeared in New York, Washington D.C., and Europe. We will explore how his thriving post-diplomatic career underscores the mental, emotional, and social dimensions of healthy aging: Purposeful engagement—writing novels, producing plays—keeps brain function, memory, and creativity sharp. Social connectivity—through theater, literary communities, interviews—supports emotional well-being. Reinvention—embracing new roles later in life models adaptability and resilience.
