I published my first non-fiction book

Yesterday, I published my first non-fiction book.

It’s called AI Ready.

I wrote it together with my brother, Kike.

Seeing it published feels grounding.

What drew me into AI

Two years ago, I became deeply interested in AI.

It was clear to me that this technology would shape how we work, create, and think.

I have always been a creative person.
What fascinated me most was not automation or speed, but creative possibility.

AI reduced friction between thought and execution.
Ideas moved faster.
Protypes could be created with a click.

Learning AI with my brother Kike

What started as curiosity turned into real learning.
Not just trying tools, but understanding what sits underneath.

This is also where my brother and I connected even more.

He works at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, where he leads the AI department.

Our conversations became longer and our shared exploration grounded me.

Why we wrote a book about AI

The idea for the book grew naturally from our work.

Through Bit2Brain, we have been sharing AI knowledge and running AI workshops.

More recently, we have also been building Proposia,
an app that helps create proposals for academic funding.

Across all of this work, one pattern kept repeating.

People don’t need tons of tools.
They often need confidence.

They need solid basics.
A way to get oriented quickly.

So we decided to put on paper what we’ve learnt.
The foundations needed to reach AI literacy faster.

That became AI Ready.

I published my first non-fiction book with my brother

We wrote the book over the last four months.

Between projects, workdays and life.

I’ve loved every part of the process.

The conversations.

The questions.

The discussions.

Today, anyone with a meaningful story or solid knowledge to share can publish a professional book.

Self-publishing tools are liberating.

They remove barriers and open doors.
They make it easier to start, to share, and to be heard.

Our book is available both on Amazon and on my website.

Last year I wrote my first book

Last year, writing took on a very personal meaning.

When my dad passed away, I felt a strong need to help my children understand loss.

Together with my daughter Laia, and with a little help from AI, we wrote Nuno’s Flight.

A gentle story about loss.
About love.
About why grandad was no longer there.

The experience was liberating.
And unexpectedly joyful.

Since then, writing books has felt less intimidating and more natural.
Less like a goal.
More like a way to make sense of life.

Writing in 2025

Looking back at this year, returning to writing iss one of the best decisions I made.

Writing helps me organize thoughts.
It revealshttps://lenagut.com/blog/ what I actually believe.
It shows me where ideas still need work.

Writing also creates connection.

With people I admire.
With a slower pace.

LinkedIn has become fast and demanding.

I have especially enjoyed writing here.
On my website.
In my newsletter.

Looking ahead to 2026

Next year, I want to keep writing.

I want to share what I have learned about technology adoption.
About change inside organizations.
About what actually helps people move forward.

I want to share real stories.

The kind of stories that often stay in conversations,
but rarely make it onto paper.

Writing as contribution

Every week, I meet people with perspectives that deserve to be written down.

People who think a lot.
People who have lived through complex change.
People who have learned things worth sharing.

Most of that knowledge never leaves conversations.

Writing a book changes that.

It turns lived experience into something others can learn from.
It gives clarity to people who are still finding their way.

Writing is generous.
But it is also transformative.

It forces you to articulate what you actually know.
It helps you see patterns in your own journey.
It gives structure to years of experience.

In a world full of AI generated content,
human perspective becomes even more valuable.

Your way of seeing things.
Your experiences.
Your conclusions.

Those are uniquely yours.

And no AI can replace that.

So take a piece of paper and a pen.
Sit down for a quiet moment.
And start writing this holiday season.
