Tied Up in Knots audiobook

Andrea Tantaros's commentary about the modern woman is both insightful and a breath of fresh air. As a woman in my late twenties, the arguments presented in this book hit home for me. I grew up with a conservative family and was taught the same values. In today's society this upbringing isn't very popular. So it was a nice change to hear a strong woman in the media willing to champion these often ignored aspects of womanhood. No matter your political or personal leanings, I believe every woman should take the time to read Andrea Tantaros's story. Not only is Tied Up in Knots a moving personal account but it also challenges us to champion strengths women are known for both in the past and present.

This book is us laid bare. It isn’t rosey but it’s the stark truth. Not many women, or men for that matter are willing to be this honest today. We need more of this but honestly we need to listen more and take heed of what is being said.

Great bookLearned a lot about the younger generation. How women treat each other. WOW!! Never thought women could treat each other in such a negative way. Amazing!!

Very good book!

I've always loved Andrea Tantaros, and I have identified with her from the start. Her book was so spot on and thought provoking. She was able to articulate the same thoughts and feelings I've been having for the past few years, and it was refreshing to know I'm not alone. She was honest, as always, and it's okay to admit that getting what we thought we wanted has made us miserable. But if we recognize it and take steps to realize what is most important to us and how to have healthy personal relationships, there is hope.

WHAT A GREAT BOOK! When I first bought the book, I thought it might have been written primarily for women. Once I started reading it, the messages for men was loud and strong. This is a book that everyone should read if they want to get ahead in this screwy world but especially women. I learned about how women think and why they think the way they do. I also learned a great deal about men and how they also think and why but more importantly how the mental processes between how men think and women think and visa versa lead to a lot more problems that ever need be. Could not help but wonder where books like this were when I was twenty or even thirty or forty. Anyone who passes up reading this book will undoubtedly have relationship problems in their future that might have been avoided had they read the book. Blunt, to the point and to some degree a big surprise in how Andrea describes certain events in her life.

Where was this book when I was in my 20's? This is part memoir, part advice column, and part social criticism. I feel like a better person after reading this book and I know I'll be a better woman for it. I laughed, I cried, I cringed when some parts hit too close to home. This is written simply, with wit and with kindness. I will recommend this book to the young women I teach with the hope they take away some crucial advice. Be tough, be nice, don't let people walk all over you, but don't be cruel. Don't settle!! Have high standards for yourself and others. Thank you, Andrea for a great read!!!

Brings up many good points. Has too many details of people's personal lives to recommend to my teenage friends. The political comment I enjoyed the most is that if we are conservatives we need to define what we possess in our society we find of value that we want to conserve; and then we need to protect it. We can't be vague and just want to turn back the clock... time travel is not real. We need to be specific. We need to draw lines. We need to protect what is precious to us.

I thought this book was well-written and fair. The author works for Fox News and I'm more of a CNN girl. :) However, she was honest, politically fair, strong, but most importantly kind. All the things women should be whether red or blue.

Good commentary on today's world of "feminism" and how it has eroded our values. Tantaros is a good writer, and provided personal experiences as well as statistics.

It wasn't what I thought it would be, but still an interesting read. Definitely written for women.
