to make me better/to make myself better

[navi tasan]

1) He used his sickness as a means to make him a better person.
2) He used his sickness as a means to make himself a better person.

3) I have found a method to make me better
4) I have found a method to make myself better.

Which of the above are correct?

It depends on what you mean by "to make somebody better/a better person".

I can't see how sickness makes one a better person but there's a saying "adversity makes one stronger".

If you are talking self-improvement, yes, there are infinite ways (not method as in performing a task) to achieve that.

You're asking about reflexive pronouns.

If you use I, use myself
If you use he, use himself

Navi has written that in 2 and 4, hasn't he?
