Cesare Zavattini said that the perfect film was a day in the life of a man to which nothing happened.

I had a dream in which nothing happened to me. That dream was nothingness. For that time, my mind did not exists, and the whole world was gone. There were not thoughts nor hopes nor sense perceptions. I was unified with the void. For all the time

In the two senses of being a person, no, you are not the same person because our mentality is so dynamic that it never stays. That sounds stupid and stereotypical, but the reason it is like that is because identity and being are total bullshit concepts. There is no pure objective soul and all that. The 'me' that would exist only right now is not even that good; I am not even really experiencing this much because of stock associations and schemata. People who do not know what the fuck this all means will just activate the 'too smart for me' response and just read over your post. It might be fair to say in that they did not change because they did not achieve consciousness. What are we other than our tendencies of traits and relatively organized and sometimes predictable patterns of behavior?

On the other sense of a person, the more optimistic one, the whole 'soul' who-we-really-are-deep-down-on-the-inside does not change much, so unless someone were to read this and have a huge revelation and then somehow build on that and actually not only understand more about themselves but also (this is the important part) slightly change their lifelong goals and dreams then people will not change at any significant level.
