In this essay the authors briefly review the main ideas developed in the last years concerning the entropy production method for kinetic equations of various types and the relevance and expected impact of such results. These results were a major breakthrough in analyzing in particular the rate of convergence to equilibrium of solutions to this type of equation establishing the ``almost'' truth of Cercignani's conjecture.
