About this audiobook

In this extremely positive, motivational, and often laugh-out-loud memoir, Jake Paul pauses long enough from his supercharged day-to-day as a nineteen year old social media heartthrob and costar on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark to share his takes on life, love, fame, and shooting for the moon.

Growing up as a regular kid in Ohio, Jake Paul always knew he wanted to do something big, but he wasn’t sure what that thing was—that is, until he found his calling as one of Vine’s most famous comedians. As a high school sophomore, Jake began making comedy videos with his older brother, Logan, and posting them online. With every carefully staged prank, Jake and Logan’s following grew—and after a few stumbling blocks, Jake finally forged his own way. Eventually, he traded his childhood home in Cleveland for sunny, sparkling Hollywood. In You Gotta Want It, Jake reflects on the path that led him to stardom. From learning the value of a disciplined work ethic, to achieving his goals and aspirations along the way to digital celebrity, to the crazy behind-the-scenes details of his journey as a creator and actor, Jake relates the most hysterical and intimate details of his life thus far—all with the signature humor, honesty, and unstoppable attitude that have won him millions of devoted followers.

Ratings and reviews

Porn for children by children. Jake Paul has the money for a ghost writer but wanted to provide to the world that he wasn't illiterate. His writing perfectly targets the audience of 8th grade girls with its simplistic sentence structure and the fragmented plot that has no clear direction (Clearly a symbol for what life is like as an 8th grader). A true satirical self-help novel. I recommend the audio book

It's so good because I watch him he's handsom and lots more things I can tell you more but it will fill up a hole book jake paul but Logan sucks

It is such an inspiring book the part that touched me was when he said something about how we must always not think the opposite of how we want to be to fulfil your dream
