I would suggest "The Bhagavad-Gita As it is." All other versions fail to deliver the true meaning because the translators are not fully self realized.
"As it is" is by far the best known translation because the author, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, was the founder of the Bhakti Yoga movement in the US in the late 60s, often referred to as the Hare Krishnas even though the formal name is the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
I became a serious student of Bhakti back in the early 90s, but I've never been initiated (like Christian baptism) because I'm not in full agreement with all of the basics.)
The Krishna movement back in the 60s was seen as a direct assault on American Christianity and was reviled by all the traditional Christian denominations as a cult or some form of devil-worship, even though the Gita and the other vedic literature came even before the Old Testament and even the Torah (according to some scholars.)
Of course the Krishna's didn't help their cause by going to airports and shopping centers and "begging" people to buy their books (not flowers... that was the Moonies.) And, of course, they wore the traditional robes of monks, along with shaved heads. (However, we all dressed "strange" in the 60s and 70s!)
What was ironic was that as a percentage of their numbers, far more Jews joined the movement than did Christians. (Surveys show that when Jews leave the religion most become Catholics or Buddhists... not "liberal" Protestants such as Methodists or Unitarians. Go figure.)
Today, the Krishnas are thriving but pose no real threat in numbers to the dominant Christian culture in this country. However, their numbers are growing in Eastern Europe for reasons I don't understand.
I like to read a verse a day (online) from As it Is however many people feel that the purports of Prabhupada need to be "updated" and "edited" to reflect more modern Western thinking, especially as it relates to women's role in society.
One of the best new translations, "The Beloved Lord's Secret Love Song" is by Graham Schweig.
I rather doubt that most insurance agents, being as conservative minded (some would say 'reactionary') as they are could get their head around the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga, but if you are open to a new way of looking at life, death, and the meaning of it all, getting a translation of the Gita (it's very short) would be a start. The Schweig book is excellent, but there are tons of good translations online, again my favorite being As it Is, even with some of the out-dated purports (explanations) of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. (BTW, "swami" and "Prabhupada are actually titles which mean "teacher" and "master" but Mr. Bhaktivendanta is held in such high regard that he is simply know as "Prabhupada" (PROB-hoo-pod.) He died in the late 70s but his body of scholarship is more popular today than when he lived.
The Gita is a good and easy read. It's all verse and if you do one or two a day, you will enjoy it.
If you have a fear of death, the chapter on reincarnation might give you some hope and comfort. You might find this article about the gnome showing evidence of reincarnation to be of interest.
If not, it didn't cost you anything. One thing I know for sure. If you have a population of people from a Hindu tradition (usually from India) in your area, knowing something about their belief structure will help you feel comfortable with them, and they with you. (BTW, there is no "Hindu" religion. It's a catch-all phrase for people who believe in basics of the vedic scriptures... the Gita being the best known. There are more sects and offshoots of "Hindu" than there are of "Christian" but they tend to not fight among themselves very often about who is right or wrong (like in the conflict Christians have about baptismal sprinkling vs. dunking.)
I believe that any (every) financial advisor (insurance educator... I know I don't ever sell anything) needs to know a little bit about all things. A little bit of knowledge and understanding of Eastern philosophy would not hurt you in business.
Hare Krsna! Haribol!
