So, this started with a notification I got on Kickstarter about The Secret Art of Gamemastery . Is this worth picking up? Do you have any better suggestions for DMing advice?

The best sources of GM advice that I've used:

Matt Colville's "Running The Game" series on YouTube (free)
Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master by Sly Flourish ($8 pdf)
WebDM on YouTube (free, but time consuming to get through, plus they have a podcast if you throw them a couple bucks on Patreon)

Edit: also, watch (non-critrole) actual play content and pay attention to what the GM does well, what they do differently, etc.
