The Mind of Jake Paul is an American documentary web series created by YouTuber Shane Dawson. The series is presented by Dawson, who investigates the world and mind of controversial fellow YouTuber Jake Paul as well as the general psychology of YouTubers. Dawson does this with Kati Morton, another popular YouTuber who is a licensed marriage and family therapist. The series was promoted through Dawson's Twitter and is stylistically similar to Dawson's previous web series, The Secret World of Jeffree Star. It premiered on September 25, 2018, and concluded after eight episodes on October 18, 2018.
The Mind of Jake Paul generally received mixed reviews, with the second episode of the series, "The Dark Side of Jake Paul," being sharply criticized for its outdated use of the term "sociopath." Professional critics reviewing the series noted its lack of true insight on Paul and the fact that neither Dawson nor Morton are subject matter experts in mental health. Ultimately, the series was successful, garnering a combined total of over 175 million views. Conspiracy Series with Shane Dawson—Dawson's following project—was released in this same formatting similarity.
