Maybe replace "successful" with "awesome" in the title to emphasize that a meetup that's already successful can benefit from the book, and may even be the primary audience? (Or some similar title restructuring.)

I tend to think we rationalists overuse 'awesome'. I also think we use it to show other rationalists we're rationalists, but to outsiders who are older than college-age it probably comes across as silly.

Eh, no. But I actually didn't get the feeling that 'successful' suffers from the problem you pointed out.
