健康有原则的生活规律
A big comprise here: I dropped “skills” to keep the rest, because
健康有原则的生活技能 is weird… (健康 / 有原则的 + 技能 cannot stand)…
The preferred term is “life skills” (in education/psychology texts), and the matching of “ethical” and “living skills” is downright atrocious… (The writer was not grasping the concepts when he / she used them)
Since "living" is by far broader and more directly linked to survival (than “social”),
I would not reduce it to a narrower translation (e.g. “social skills”). “Life skills” would include occupational functioning, and body care, for example. Cheers

: The comments in this answer about psychology are mostly nonsense. Life skills (a basic ability to take care of yourself) is not what the original text has in mind by ethical living skills (skills to live morally).

高尚的生活方式
To me “ethical living skills” combined with all other “common purposes” = Carrying our life in a decent manner – a quality radiates from within!
To that - I like to call it “高尚的生活方式”!
To that - I like to call it “高尚的生活方式”!

: This translation leaves out both ethics and skills. [In response: I don't have a philosophical disagreement with you: ethical skills are probably necessary for nobility. I just think your translation is bad.]

Do you think you can live a "高尚的生活方式" without an ethical base? I think we are having a semantic problem here!
