Will reading Aurelius make me a better person?
No. Read Evola, Guenon, and Spengler.
The Art of Worldly Wisdom

It will make you more well-read on Aurelius, and possibly Stoicism if you haven't read much about it previously.

Reading philosophy of all kinds makes you a superior human being.
If you have read a philosophy once in your life and understood it, you are leagues above a pleb.
Most people are plebs, having never read a book, and can't even fathom why you'd want to. They see books as a relic from their school days, where they felt school was equally as pointless as reading. They look forward to getting out into the world and engaging in fun, or watching red vs. blue on the telescreen.
These people will never know the joys of the mind, the depths of intellect, the fruits which can be hoarded from the written word. They are inferior creatures, locked up in their personal prisons of frivolity and pointless amusement. Probably the only real thing they experience is when someone named Chad in their social circle dies in a drunk driving accident caused by him, and they reminisce over how cool and heroic he was when he fucked 3 girls in one night (2 at once).

RIP Chad, may the Lord have mercy on his soul.
yes, if you're so stupid that you haven't even considered stoicism
I think it's a vastly inferior philosophy to Christianity, but it's much simpler and easier to understand, and it's better than having no philosophy at all
