In this talk I will review the topic of 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, which has been the subject of considerable interest over the past years. I will discuss the mathematical complexities involved in implementing this idea, and review recent attempts at constructing well-defined, self-consistent theories that enact it, and their relation to Horndeski gravity. I then move on to consider the interesting phenomenology that results from these theories.
