This paper intends to review the subject of Higgs Physics. I start from the early stages, including its phenomenology and the current expectations for the possible Higgs discovery at the coming LHC. Then, I discuss the proposals for new physics that attempt to solve the hierarchy problem, where the Higgs boson can be either a fundamental or composite field. Finally, I also comment on the hardest questions, namely on the possible connection between the Higgs mechanism, the Standard Model parameters and gravity.
