A nutshell is very small, yet it contains a complete entity. News, for example, in a nutshell, gives the most essential part of the story, without a lot of details. What each of us would put in our "nutshell" would differ from person to person.

This means a very concise summary of one's life, that would fit in a "nutshell." For example: "I was born in 1990, in Dallas, went to public schools there, then joined the Army and served three tours of duty. Now I'm out and looking for a job. That's my life in a nutshell."
