She believes that writing an account of one’s own life requires adequate language which the third-person perspective typical for hard science cannot supply. On the example of Jadwiga Stańczakowa’s Diary of a Twosome, she demonstrates that keeping a diary is a type of spiritual exercise understood as a way of living a good life.
