They compare saving someone from drowning to optimizing life, stating that by saving someone, they are giving them more experiences and fulfillment. Similarly, the speaker believes that writing a book about optimizing life is like saving their own life, as it provides more love, walks in the park, and fulfillment. The book serves as a tool to prevent the speaker from drowning in the challenges and distractions of life.
