It doesn't help that nowadays Aurelius is being held up as some beacon of masculinity nowadays. I mean there are much worse role models but so many folks have been reductionist about his views and it can be problematic. There is some good ideas but they have become idolized.

I found the views of the Neoplatonists to be fascinating even if one doesn't subscribe to those views.

Generally, read broadly and from multiple points of view.
