Apotheosis (uh-poth-ee-OH-sis) — from the Greek for “to deify” — is the elevation of a person to the status of a god.

Example (as used in The New Yorker): “[In her recent show at Radio City Music Hall, Lady Gaga] served up dollops of self-help, offering her own apotheosis as an inspirational parable for her fans. ‘Don’t ever let anyone tell you you can’t be anything you want to be,’ she said.”

Testimonials

  • “The Conference Was a Success…”

    “I thought you might like some feedback on your Internet Marketing Bootcamp.

    “I had three questions when I came to the conference. I made progress on all three, so for me the conference was a big success. I got a great deal out of it — including over 60 pages of notes.

    “The two speakers, and their topics, that fired me up with intense, gut-level interest were Michael Masterson and Drayton Bird.

    “No surprise on Michael Masterson. (I took 10 pages of notes when he spoke the first time.) Just a year ago, I would not have dreamed of meeting him, much less getting his autograph on The Pledge…

    “Drayton Bird was incredible, in his knowledge and wonderful sense of humor.

    “Thanks so much.”
