Retrain The Brain Switch
Between Fight-Or-Flight And Rest-And-Recover.
Project30 turns thirty years of one man's research into a method anyone can measure in themselves. It shifts the balance between sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-recover) tone through breathing, sleep, and real human connection. Start with a free quiz or a free Zoom session, then go deeper in the books.

About Us
Vision & Mission
Project30 Nexus Ltd is a New Zealand company built on thirty years of one man's research into the nervous system, sleep, and human connection, turned into books, a measurable process, and a community that pays it forward.
“A world where people from all walks of life come together regularly to foster wellness, happiness, and meaningful connections through shared experiences and mutual support.” Vision
“To create vibrant communities dedicated to enhancing overall well-being and life satisfaction.” Mission
Where Everything Starts
Three Foundations. One Nervous System.
Every Project30 book, quiz, and programme is built on the same three pillars. Get these right and almost everything else in life gets easier.
Breathing
Resonance breathing, nasal breathing, and vagal toning: the fastest lever into a nervous system stuck on high alert.
Sleeping
Hormones, mood, and recovery are governed by sleep more than almost anything else, and it's the pillar most programmes skip.
Human Connection
Real contact with real people, on purpose. The one ingredient no app, pill, or podcast can substitute for.
The Project30 Process™
A daily method that shifts your autonomic nervous system out of sympathetic (fight-or-flight) dominance and into parasympathetic (rest-and-recover) tone, then proves it moved, with your own HRV numbers. Twenty to thirty minutes, nothing but your own attention required.
Project30 Process™ is the subject of a pending patent application. Not a replacement for medical care. A companion to it.

Six Quizzes. Keep Every Result.
Not tests, mirrors. No pass, no fail. Every quiz below belongs to somebody else and opens on their own site. We send you to them because they're the real thing, done properly, by the people who built them. Write your score down, then do it again in six months and see what's actually moved.
The Grit Scale
A short questionnaire on passion and perseverance over time, and how consistently you stick with what matters when progress is slow. Developed by Angela Duckworth, University of Pennsylvania.

Learning Style
A short video quiz on the different ways people take in information: reading, listening, pictures, words. No style is better than another, but knowing yours helps.

Mood & Resilience
The Goldberg Questionnaire, a screening tool for mood, pressure and energy. Not a diagnosis, and no questionnaire can tell you what's really going on in your life.

If your score comes back higher than you expected, that's worth taking seriously. Come talk to us on a free Zoom, and please also talk to your doctor or someone you trust. Nothing here replaces that conversation.
Character Strengths
Twenty-four strengths, ranked. Your top five show you at your best; your bottom five usually explain more. About 240 questions and free registration required, so give it forty minutes. Developed by Peterson & Seligman for the VIA Institute.

For Organisations
Bring The Process To Your Team
Every Project30 programme is built to reach a workplace through the people who run it, not around them.
Director Trial
A director or owner works through the De-Stress Code or Black Dog programme first, at no cost.
See It Measured
Real HRV data, not a satisfaction survey. The same measurement the books teach every reader to use.
Approved For Staff
Once a director has seen it work on themselves, the programme rolls out to their people.

Three pieces of equipment, chosen because they do the one specific job the Process needs. Nothing more.

A Charitable Trust, So Cost Is Never The Reason Someone Misses Out
We're setting up a registered charitable trust for Project30. Once it's live, donations will fund places in our programmes for people who can't afford them, including anyone currently unemployed, so the same process that works for a paying customer is there for the people who need it most.
In progress. The trust isn't registered yet, so donations aren't tax-deductible until that's official. We'll update this the moment it is.
