Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen — along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra — moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".
Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.
Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.
Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, "The Epoch".

Originally written in 1904 by a relatively unknown man, James Allen, As You Think came into circulation as ‘As A Man Thinketh'. Since then it has been edited and updated by Marc Allen and the fact that it is still selling today stand to prove that this is one of the best self-motivation book of all times.
As You Think primarily talks about how you can achieve excellence in life. It emphasises that the most important asset is a strong resolve to reach your goals. According to the author, the path way to the success lies only in your own mind and every restriction or obstacle is self-imposed. Not only is it possible to unlock the mental reservoirs that would lead to self-fulfillment, this book shows the reader exactly how it can be done. It also states categorically that it is most important to use resources and tools provided carefully and allow the truth to set you free.
Marc Allen has further edited As You Think, eliminating language that is dated and obsolete, while retaining the message resonating in this book. He has endeavored to make the book gender inclusive, to demonstrate to the audience that these principles are universal in nature and equally applicable to all races, genders, castes and across all boundaries.
The most important message contained in As You Think is that success and failure are a direct result of your mindset and hence can be affected by changing how you think.
