In recent years anomalous cooling and heating effects in the far from equilibrium limit have gained attention. One anom aly is the so called Mpemba Effect\, in which the time to relax towards th ermal equilibrium does not grow monotonically as a function of distance to the target. Instead\, it has been proposed that there exist shortcuts in the relaxation process that allow both faster\, and even exponentially fas ter heating and cooling. In this talk I will discuss recent works [1\,2] t hat have progressed our understanding of such shortcuts by studying the Mp emba effect using Overdamped Langevin dynamics. I will show when and where you can get the effect\, and that our models are in good agreement with e xperimental findings. Lastly\, I will touch upon current works where we st udy the effect using Markovian jump processes on linear reaction networks.  \;
